Sunday, 27th Oct 2019 - Twilight Run

The rain of the past few days had taken its toll on the country lanes of Staffordshire, making them better suited to Land Rovers rather than MGs.

But our intrepid SMGECers navigated around and through the water logged lanes with the Autumn sunshine and blue skies making the very best of the Staffordshire countryside.

Once at Cosford, there was plenty of time for coffee and snacks and to tour the amazing exhibits each with their own wonderful story to tell.
