We are the ones in the black & orange MGoT tops:D Oh, nearly forgot, I am staying at the Premier Inn as well.

Can I make it, "nervous although with excited anticipation"? I'll be there on Sunday evening although I can't say I plan my wardrobe decisions that far ahead!

08/09/2015 10:14:41 Ruth My first time to - i'll be the nervous looking woman in the other corner :rolleyes: Can someone please let me know who to contact for info on the day and if you will need any other details as I am in Scotland the week before and may have trouble getting emails.

08/09/2015 10:22:58 Trophy-Steve Hi Ruth and Zebra. No need to be nervous, as you are both first timers you will have a mentor on the day to show you 'how it works' About 4-5 days before the event you will receive via email with information on everything you need to know for the day. Please read the information carefully. Around the same time you will get an email from an experienced member of MGoT who will be your mentor on the day and answer any questions you may have. Don't worry - all will become very clear!

08/09/2015 11:02:44 Ruth But i'll be in the back of beyond with no signal :o :o so I won't get the email until I get back on the Sunday - the day before.... Will I need to do anything Steve or can I have the email earlier? Ruth

08/09/2015 13:31:37 Trophy-Steve Ruth, Please send an email to [email]TimG@mgs-on-track.co.uk[/email] Tim is the event manager for the day. Explain your situation and he can give you a outline of what the day entails, though this would obviously not be your final event email which will be with you as soon as you return to a signal. Briefly - In terms of your car, mainly, please make sure you all your fluid levels, (fuel, oil and water) are ok, Tyre pressures and condition plus wheel nut tightness are ok too, lights and wipers are all working. Make sure nothing is about to fall off!! All these can be checked again on the day with your mentor. In terms of you and any passengers, Comfortable clothing but Arms and Legs need to be covered and flat sole shoes preferably without chunky soles (the flater the better) Crash helmet or if you are hiring one from us it will be supplied on the day. I'm sure someone else will post if I have forgotten anything!! ;)

08/09/2015 13:55:17 Ruth Thanks Steve email sent and looking forward to meeting you all.

08/09/2015 17:37:06 Tim Guy I'll try to get the email out to you earlier Ruth. Sometimes a few things change during the last week but it will be mostly correct. Tim

12/09/2015 09:37:48 Zebra Hello Ruth. Glad there"ll be another first timer there too. Another thing we have in common; I came back from a couple of weeks in the north west highlands and Skye a couple of weeks ago. Riding a motor home, not an MG though.

15/09/2015 09:43:19 Ruth Hi Zebra Yes it's my first time to - really looking forward to it and a bit nervous at the same time and I wish I was taking my MG to Scotland. It's the Shogun this time as we can't fit 4 border collies, my other half and enough food/clothes for a week into the TF. See you on the 5th. Ruth

17/09/2015 19:27:38 Rich I'm booked into Premier Inn, East Midlands Airport. Left it a bit late so may have paid over the odds. "It's all part of growing up and being British!" as someone famous once said. Looking forward to it. I'm going to put some softer springs, with travel, on the rear of the 'B' before I come up so I should have some teeth left when I get there! :) Cheers Richard

30/09/2015 05:55:58 Dave P We ought to make a booking for a meal Sunday night to give the Premier Inn an idea of numbers; I suggest a 7.30 start. So who is joining in? I will start the list! Regards Dave

30/09/2015 07:17:40 headsman46 Hi Dave, count me in, 7.30 sounds good Colin

30/09/2015 08:57:08 Trophy-Steve Someone mention food?? I'm in! :p

30/09/2015 19:42:21 Rich Hi Dave, Count me in too, 7.30 is good. I won't need my food mashing as I have fitted some softer springs, with travel! Cheers Richard

01/10/2015 20:34:18 Zebra I'll be there at 7.30 for food too, please.

02/10/2015 04:25:19 andywatson Count me and Clive Freeman in for Food.

02/10/2015 06:16:44 NigelS Count me in too please!
