Welcome to the first edition of our On-Line newsletter for 1997, because it is such a quiet time of year, (in the MG world anyway) there is not much to write about this month. So I would ask you to just take a little time to browse through the rest of the Cambridge and District Web site if you have not already done so.
Two of our most popular sections are the Image Gallery and the Motorsport sections.

1996 must go down as one of the most successful years for the Cambridge and District MGOC, we attended many events throughout the year which have been fully chronicled in the Newsletter and membership has just about doubled. If you would like to join us then checkout our Event Diary which is being constantly updated. Here you can find out what we are up to, and where we are doing it!

All of this would not be possible without the hard work of the few, for the benefit of so many! At the helm of the club is of course the area secretary, who for the past twelve months has steered the club, along with the help of the other committee members, to what must be the best club in the Eastern Region. I am of course talking about Peter Paige, who has continued to build on the success of our previous area secretary, Brian Fish.

Peter, has not done it single handed, he has be helped by an enthusiastic crew, topped, possibly, by Peter's wife Eveline, who I may say, is an excellent 'first lady'. On behalf on the club I would like offer a vote of thanks for all your hard work, THANKYOU!

The Norman Conquest is an event for those people who appreciate older cars and possibly, more importantly adore French food, wine and countryside. Part of the fun will be touring around Normandy, visiting beautiful chateaux and enjoying the old fashioned regularity sections. The tour will take in the birthplace of William the Conqueror and allow you time to visit the Bayeux Tapestry, the D-Day Beaches or perhaps just enjoy the ambience of a French Cafe.

The Norman Conquest's first three nights will be near the town of Bayeux, then meander through the Suisse Normand to Falaise (William the Conqueror's birthplace) for a further two nights. The route will then head northwards to finish at Honfleur. Prizes will be presented at the “Fête Finale avec petit orchestre”.

The Norman Conquest will provide accommodation in specially selected hotels and splendid French châteaux. All are individually different, charming and very French.

The Norman Conquest will have a competitive element to it, although it will not be compulsory. This will take the form of regularity and straightforward navigation.

Entries will be accepted from cars pre-1966, with a driver and a navigator.

There are just 50 places so book early!
