There will be a Memorial event for the late Harry Crutchley, founder of the Octagon Club, on Sunday 8th June in Stafford. Harry was a major figure in the MG world and lived in Staffordshire. Consequently we have decided to postpone our charity event due to take place on Sunday so that MG owners wishing to pay their respects will be able to attend.
Whilst I am sorry for disappointing those wanting to do the run this weekend, I’m sure that you will understand my decision. I will keep your email addresses and be in contact when we have a new date and details.
Those wishing to attend, please contact me for details.
Thank you for your understanding.
