The day went very well. What does not when it’s a beautiful driving day and the venue lives up to expectations with good friendly service. We departed reluctantly but felt reassured this catchup and celebration was important.

We had 14 entries plus some come and try. Started cold, then rain and then wind and sun. Very slippery for all.

Don Woods – The final lap
We are gathering to celebrate and remember Don’s life on Sunday 4th June at MG Car Club Rooms at 2pm
We would love you to come along, as we put him on the top step of the podium once again and reminisce of a life very well lived.
Bring your stories to share with friends and tell those tales of how he pipped you at the post or tickled your MG to make it go a bit quicker.
At Don’s special request – he would like as many MG’s as possible at his final farewell event.
To assist with catering, we would appreciate an RSVP via email jan@janrattray.com or by phoning Jan on 0408 555 195 by 30th May.
Looking forward to seeing you on 4th June.
Jan and Don’s family.
