Charity Run September 6 2009
It has always been a very successful and well supported event, with quite a lot of people returning each year, and in that time we have raised in excess of £20000 for local charities. First and foremost though it is an MG run, planned by an MG club for MG enthusiasts, and any surplus funds after the event are donated to our nominated Charities. This year they are the Staffordshire Air Ambulance and a local Children’s hospice The Donna Louise Trust. We know that you enjoy driving your cars, and that they mean a lot to you, so we always try to keep to the sensible roads, off the beaten track but interesting.
The start this year is a new one – Amerton Farm at Stowe by Chartley, they have been very welcoming and helpful to us, we shall be supplying you with tea / coffee at the start but you will be able to purchase breakfasts etc on the morning when you arrive. The run itself is again new this year and will be around 75 miles, I’m not going to give too much away to you otherwise it will spoil the surprises of the day and you will have nothing to look forward too, suffice to say though you will see some beautiful Staffordshire and Cheshire countryside to enjoy, I even surprise myself sometimes at what we find during the planning stages.A mid point stop will be supplied for both lubrication and relief and perhaps even the opportunity to stretch your legs. Now, the end point, as a rule we don’t reveal the ending, we never have and this year is no different, and I am sure you will not be disappointed, it offers everything we need, facilities, beautiful picturesque setting, interesting and there may even be a photo opportunity, the only thing we can’t guarantee on the day is the sunshine. For the first time this year though we have put a few photographs on to whet your appetite.We always try to give you a “value for money” day

out, I think at £16 it is very reasonable compared with some, you will get a warm welcome at the start, a great run, a plaque, a bone china souvenir of your visit to “the Potteries”, free admission at the mid point and finishing venue, a great raffle and one or two other things as well, don’t want to tell you all the surprises. This year we have a superb – not just good – superb long distance award to present. So why don’t you come and give us a try, you can download an entry form from the website, and I look forward to meeting you all on the day.
