Classic MG Car Natter - September 2009

September update - The Hollycombe Steam Museum trip"

During our meet at The Chequers this month we had an invite by Martin (Maddison) to go to Hollycombe Steam Museum on the 13th September with his Riley group. We gathered at The Chequers at midday (approx) and waited for the Riley group to swing around the corner by the Pub (as arranged) and to join them on a pleasant meander through to country lanes to Liphook and on to the Steam museum. We all had a wonderful time, enjoying the rides and other attractions. These are some of the photo’s take were taken.
