Duxford

The museum offers a car club visit. I quote

“Visiting as a car or owners club you can enjoy a bespoke display show area, early access and a full day at IWM Duxford. For enquiries, please e-mail duxfordevents@iwm.org.uk”

I have made enquiries to see if this might suit our needs.

Thursday 20^th

Free choice of where you go. Google “attractions near Cambridge” to see what might suit your taste.

Bletchley Park and the National Computer Museum is an hour’s drive away.

There are some fascinating museums in Cambridge.

National Trust Wimpole Estate is nearby

Cheers

The opportunity to show off your Morgan with many other classics whose owners will also exercise them that day. Details to come.

This is the day to dust off your Morgan (or other classic) and show it off, together with lots of other cars awakened from their winter hibernation. (Of course, the best thing is to keep it taxed and used all through the winter).

As well as a run, to be chosen, we shall gather at

Sexmog Dorset Break at The Grange Oborne near Sherbourne DT9 4LA

Additional rooms are now available. Please contact Jeff Deere for details.

Sunday 8th June 2025: Spring Lunch at Haywards Heath Golf Club RH16 1SL
