With a few exceptions (check the descriptions for member only events), we welcome you to join us at our monthly events. Generally they are held on a Sunday and begin around 9:30 in the morning and end sometime in the mid afternoon. These are primarily driving events, although some will incorporate a non driving activity, such as a tour. Most of the times we will stop at a restaurant for lunch or the event chairperson may choose to do a picnic.
There are two types of events listed here ARR Sponsored Events and Non ARR Events. All of these events are either MG Car specific or have some associated with British cars.

Things That Go Bonkers In The Night
Chris Bonk, the proud owner of the Allard Wantabe (see photo ops) is opening up his warehouse shop for a look see at all the great toys he has gathered over the years.
