Inter-natter Pride of Ownership
16th May 2006

The second inter-natter Pride of Ownership to be held at Gildersome on the 16th May looked doubtful with the weather very unpredictable after heavy rain during the afternoon and early evening, but it did not deter the 25 entrants many who arrived with hoods down in their A’s B’s C’s F’s RV8’s TD’s Midgets Magnets ZR’s & ZT’s   along with the12 motor cyclists belonging to the Norton and the Arial & Matchless Owners Clubs who where our invited guests for the evening.

Alistair Naylor attended as there was a raffle, as did Martin Wise (MG Enthusiast Magazine).

The carpark was overflowing with motor cycles, MG’s and more than 60 people filling out score sheets.

The Stewardess Jill provided a cholesterol free supper of Pie & Peas accompanied with chips and dripping and bread as she had been informed that members of South Yorkshire would be attending.

The award’s for the Pride of Ownership where as follows

MG's
1^st place Anthony Ward 1959 MGA 1600 Roadster in Iris Blue (York)

           2^nd place Jeff & Kate Marsden 1953 TD (North Yorkshire)

           3^rd placed Carols RV8 (West Yorkshire)

Thanks to Pauline, Eileen, Sharon, Janice & Liz for helping Carol with the raffle and all who attended in making an enjoyable evening

Next year the event may move to Keith Ainley’s garden as this is the second year his shy Frog Eye Sprite has stopped en-route I believe Keith and the AA man now exchange Christmas cards.
