I would like to thank everyone who attended our annual dinner in January. On behalf of the Centre I would very much like to thank David Main, for his fascinating talk. I know we all thoroughly enjoyed hearing about his experiences and the story behind his brave adventures driving from Peking to Paris. I know one or two fancied a long drive as a result. With a compass, pointing west, navigation can’t be that hard or can it? David did explain the complexities – a journey that isn’t for the faint hearted. It was a super evening. Many thanks to

Everyone had an enjoyable time looking at the classics, wandering through the winter colours in the West Green gardens, and seeing so many children dressed up in Halloween costumes. ThamesMOG joined

At the time of writing we are looking forward to the annual Classic Car Show at West Green House. This has had to be postponed twice in September due to the torrid wet weather. Let’s hope in October it will be 3rd time lucky. We start November by joining other MSSC Centres at the Jolly Tanner in Staplefield to watch the London to Brighton Veteran Car Run.
