Durham MG Club

We had a good turnout for our first supper run of the year, 30 members left Bowburn crossing the A1M into Quarrington and continued Eastwards through picturesque lanes and villages to Seaham where we turned North along the seafront to the Crows Nest Pub. We settled down to our meal whilst being entertained by the local bingo and quiz night. Many thanks to Andy Scott and Jonathan Cockburn for organising it.

There were so many immaculate vehicles on the show field that it was difficult to pick a ‘Car of The Show’. In the judge’s opinion the title should have gone to every one of the 166 vehicles viewed. In the end the 10 trophies were awarded to the following:- PRE 1962 MG’s MG TB John Adamson 1962 to 1995 MG Sports Cars MGB Derek Coundon MGRV8 Oxford Blue Sean Morton MG/ROVER SPORTS CARS MGF Yellow X756 VEF Jeff Davies MG/ROVER SALOON CARS ROVER 75 Green ML54 OJU Brian Ennerso

Sunday the 13th of May started damp overcast and cool but quickly improved this was very fortunate as we started to fill the Riverside Park at Chester le Street with cars for our 3rdAll MG and Classic Car Show at the Riverside. By lunch time we had over 160 vehicles of all types and sizes on the green including some who had travelled quite some distance to be there, one couple from Holland had included us in their UK holiday trip. The standard of cars present was outstanding
