The BBC said that it was going to rain on the last bank holiday weekend - and I got sun burn
Let hope they are wrong again

Re: MGF REGISTER EAST ANGLIA CHARITY DAY RUN
Thanks very much to everybody who came along today & helped us raise money for the local 'Tapping House Hospice Charity', it's such a good cause. It was a shame God didnt give us the sunshine for another day , being parked in such a prime position in one of Norfolk's most popular seaside resorts with the sun beating down on us would have perfected the day.
Thanks to Paul who brought the gazebo up for us, what would we all have done today without that.
Congratulations Stew for winning best car of the day, all that polishing during the day paid off.
Looking forward to seeing everyone again soon

Re: MGF REGISTER EAST ANGLIA CHARITY DAY RUN
A great weekend Thanks to all the organisers. Loved the run even in that rain. Route good enough that even a single driver made his way to the 'sunny coast'. Nice twist at the end to get the cars to pass each other. Respect to Stewart & Kathryn who did the whole run topless. I was not brave enough to even drop my roof today. Pity the weather was not like Saturday but even the rain could not dampen the spirit today. Lots of fun & for a good cause too

Re: MGF REGISTER EAST ANGLIA CHARITY DAY RUN
Just to repeat what's already been said, a fantastic day, the run was excellent, was great planning so we could do the traditional mg wave at each other on the last part. A pity about the weather, but a good amount of money raised for charity. I still can't believe nobody else dared to have the roof down! However, i keep finding puddles of water in the car, so i may regret that! Anyway, we are still camping in a very wet and very blowy hunstanton, so will upload pics when get back!

Re: MGF REGISTER EAST ANGLIA CHARITY DAY RUN
Excellent weekend , the weather just meant we had tops up instead of down - or not in the case of Stewart and Kathryn who now qualify as real MGF Register Hard Core Hood Down Crew and still managed to win the show & shine competition !!
Fantastic finish point overlooking the sea and there were even determined day trippers wandering by for a look and a resolute band playing in the nearby bandstand. It all made for a classic British Bank Holiday weekend by the seaside. Many thanks to Jon , Sean & Claire for organising and to Paul for carting the Gazebo and a ton of other stuff all the way to Norfolk and back !
I've pinched some photos and put them together for the F register page HERE if you fancy a look.

Re: MGF REGISTER EAST ANGLIA CHARITY DAY RUN
An excellent day out - even if Freddie the dog was a hopeless navigator. Thanks to the organisers and congratulations to Stu for reinacting the efforts of King Canute in his attempts to drive the water from his car in order to win the trophy.
