Drive it Day - April 22nd

Once again we will be running a Drive it day event, this year to be held on Sunday the 22nd April. For more information about the origins of drive it day and the supporting events all over the country have a look at http://fbhvc.co.uk/drive-it-day/

This year we are pleased to announce that we have secured a prestigious location at the runway centre near Manchester Airport, home of Concorde. We will have 2 roadruns, one starting south of Manchester, the other somewhere around Rochdale, then the two groups will meet and enter the runway centre together where we will put on a display along the main concourse. Entrance to the runway centre will be free for members displaying a car and there will be an opportunity to tour concorde at a discounted price. http://www.manchesterairport.co.uk/manw ... isitorpark

Blackpool Stanley Park, Italian Gardens - July 1st.

A new event for this year, we will be putting on a group display at the ornate and delightful Italian Gardens and enjoying a day at the seaside. Full details will follow nearer the time so watch this space.

MSTG Annual Show 2012 - 21st/22nd/23rd September

For the first time this years annual show will be a weekend long event. We feel this will give us an opportunity to offer a really interesting programme of events but in a relaxed social setting, The main part of the weekend will be a display of cars in the beautiful Pavillion Gardens in Buxton on Sunday the 23rd and of course you are welcome to attend just this part of the event if you can't make the whole weekend.

For the rest of the weekend we will be staying at a delightful medieval inn call the Bull' i'th' thorn, between Buxton and Ashbourne on the A515. http://www.bulliththorn.com/ The Inn is over 500 years old and offers a quiet campsite with lovely views and caters for tents, caravans and motorhomes or if camping isnt your style then you could try one of the lovely B&B rooms in the Inn, priced from just £70 a night including breakfast.

Over the course of our stay we will lay on fun activities for all the family and if the weather is kind to us we shall enjoy a BBQ and a few well earned beverages as well.

Pre-booking is essential for this event.
