Short, sweet & to the point once more!
There has been some confusion over recent weeks about the venue for our club meetings. The confusion I believe has been an honest misunderstanding, but the membership who met after the aborted 'Quiz Night', decided that a suitable venue had to be found. To this end the committee of the club have decided that we should use the Lion & Lamb at Milton as the clubs new regular meeting place. The Lion & Lamb has in fact been home to the members of the MG Car Club in Cambridgeshire, for some years. A bonus too, is that the meeting room is no smoking!! Perhaps one day we might even together for a joint meeting!!!
The recent bad weather has put many people off from travelling to recent MG events. Only three members from Cambridge went to Brooklands recently. It was in a fact a beautiful day, with a short shower of rain only lasting a few minutes
The Club Diary has been recently updated!

Recenly myself and eight Cambridge MGOC Club members, including Dave & Linda, Alf & Peter, Bob T and his son, Darren (official pit crew!) & finally Brians wife Rita traveled up to Snetterton in Norfolk, to see our 'club secrtary' compete in only his third competitive motor race.
Scrutineering was at about 10am, but Brian along with other drivers who had not driven the Snetterton circuit had an appointment with the 'Clerk of the course'. This is standard for 'Rookie' drivers to have a little pep talk at each new circuit they drive.
This, as I have said, was to be Brians third race, the two previous races being at Cadwell Park & Brands hatch. Brians car is an MGB GT, the engine has been prepared by David Gathercole Racing. The rest of the car was prepared by Brian himself, apart from the paint work, which was done by Cambridge MGOC club member Bob Thompson.

1998 will be a fairly steep learning curve for Brian, tha Anglia Phoenix Championship in which he is competing has some very well prepared race cars, and experienced drivers. So it comes as no surprise that Brian has been starting from some where near to the back of the grid. To his credit he has made progress up the field, but not enough to win any races yet.
For my part I was taking pictures which are to be studied in detail to help determine the cars handling, and Brians racing line. The photos have already revealed some problems with car, so it has proved to be a useful exercise.

Below I have included more pictures from the race meeting
