Lincoln Natter is held at the Horse & Jockey
High Street, Waddington, Lincoln, LN5 9RF.
Due to low numbers at the Waddington Natter this month, because of the weather, the "Unwanted Present Raffle" will be done at the March Natter instead of the Feely Bag Quiz. If you did manage to get to the Natter and buy tickets remember not to throw them away!

Social Drive 2 July 2010 Organised by Pete Lincoln, the Social Drive left the Horse & Jockey on a scenic route which included a ford - not the car! - a wet ford. As you will see, some people drove more carefully through the ford than others! Thanks to Pete for organising the drive and Roger & Anne O'Neill for the photos. |

from John H, who went on the visit . . . " The Rimmers visit was very interesting. 35 people attended. Andy of Rimmers took us on the tour, apparantly they employ 50 people, & from specialising in Triumph & Land Rover they moved to MG & Rover after the demise, taking on some of Wrights people and all of the XPart spares. They provide parts for other classics as well, & export all over the world." Thanks to Roger O'Neill for organising the trip with Andy Mundy of Rimmer Brothers and Michael Turner for supplying the photographs. |

New Year's Day 2010
Bright
and sunny, Friday 1 January 2010 was the ideal day for a Run in the MG!
So thought over sixty MG enthusiasts who gathered at the Abbey Lodge, Kirkstead,
around lunchtime. The afternoon continued in the same vein with two gaggles
of MGs crossing the Lincolnshire countryside, sometimes on snow covered lanes!
The mystery finish venue turned out to be the Horse & Jockey and the conservatory
was filled with chattering friends discussing their experiences on the run.
A hot drink and Mince Pies kept us going until some decided a nice Dinner at
the H&J was the answer to their prayers.
Thanks to Ian & Sue for organising the run, Bob & Carol for assisting
in the lead cars for the two groups and John for being "Tail End Charlie".
We all had a great time. What a way to start 2010!
Thanks
for Sandra Turner for the photos

Going
to the Dogs! . . .
A Night at Peterborough Greyhound Race Track . . .
 |
The "Dogs Night" at Peterborough Greyhound Race Track on Friday 18th September was organised by Viv & Trev. A good night was had by MGers of all ages. Once
fed & watered there was excitement in the air, bulging wallets at
the ready!
Sometime later, wallets lighter & bellies even fuller, all were in
agreement that a good time was had by all. |
 |
The
last race was for charity it was a 'Human Dog Race' all in good fun .
. . |
| Thanks to Viv & Trev S as new natter leaders for a job well done. | |

Ghastly
Goings On in Lincoln! |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

Roger (pictured left) organised a Ghostly Evening in Lincoln City starting with a visit to Browns Pie Shop at the top of Steep Hill for their Tea Time Special, which proved very popular with local members and visitors from Yorkshire (pictured below) alike. Margaret (pictured with Roger) from Lincoln Ghost Walk was our informative guide and told us lots of history about our capital city as well as explaining which ghosts were where and what had been seen and heard . . . One of the Ghosts decided to make a guest appearance as an orb in the photo of Lincoln Cathedral taken by Sheila Laurence (bottom left). Our thanks to Roger for all his hard work organising the visit to Browns Pie Shop and the Ghost Walk. Special thanks to Margaret, our guide, |

The Horse & Jockey Natter in February saw almost thirty members enjoying the fun (top left). A 'Feely Bag' Quiz kept everyone occupied and Viv and Trev Steadman were the winner (top right). The Natter also saw Neil B (Left) being presented with the "Baitstrand Trophy" for services to marshalling by Assistant Competitions Secretary John H. All photos supplied by Roger O; Steve & Dawn organised the 'Feely Bag' Quiz. Thank you all. There's a lot to see and do in the coming months ... |
