Gunby Hall
Sunday 20th April 2008
| MGs were guided to Gunby Hall by the Lincolnshire Centre's new Banner Flag . . . It all started on 'National Drive Your Classic Day 2007' when John & Sheila Laurence drove their 1970 MGB roadster to Gunby Hall to celebrate this special day in the Spring sunshine. A year of planning was to follow, led by David Stonehouse and supported by a willing band of helpers. Ray & Claire Ayres, custodians of Gunby Hall, pulled out all the stops to make the preparations easy and the day run like clockwork. |

No
one could have expected the weather gods to be so cruel on this special
day for classic vehicle owners, especially after 2007's heatwave! Thermal
underwear and outerwear would have been appropriate but almost everyone
arrived in their 'pride and joy' and had a great time. |

MGs from all over the country came to see this lovely National Trust property. A choice of scenic drives from each corner of Lincolnshire arrived at Gunby Hall in time for lunch. There was a "Landlord's Choice" Pride of Ownership, a Treasure Hunt including an opportunity to stroll around the gardens and also a Guided Tour of the house. Soup, Tea & Coffee on Arrival, followed by Lunch & Afternoon Tea were provided at Gunby Hall. |
