A beautiful evening in May at the Pheasant Inn , Hightown. Early arrivals had many diners at the pub inspecting the cars parked in the sunshine.
May 15th - Driving test - Won this year by Paul Jackson in his Californian roadster
June -The Wiggin Tree, Parbold

Another good turn out - in Parbold this time. Dry but chilly this time.
Nigel's Morgan makes a good contrast with Dave's TC.
Treasure Hunt - won this year by Ralph and Eric for their second time -Many thanks to Chris Nelson for setting the route this year.
JULY -The Farmers Arms in Parbold(not Bispham Green but very near it - with apologies to those who got lost).
A good turn out in a near empty car park - and we had the swings to ourselves!
The photo is taken just before the arrival of Dave and Pauline's new RV8 which soon had quite a crowd around it - the first one seen at the club.
The pub landlord even came out - partly to see why his takings had trebled that evening - but mostly to see the fine display of M.G.s. He showed us round the restaurant with a view to us going there for our Christmas social.
(Thanks to Andrew Dickenson for the photo)
August 7th - Scotch Piper - Lydiate
Another spectacular turn out for this meeting -at the Oldest pub in Lancashire - dated 1320, and looking resplendent with its thatched roof and fresh white paint.
The pub landlord had left us space at the front for our cars and 17 turned out. Len Bailey arrived for the first time with his recently acquired GT - he had driven it all the way from Norfolk after its purchase - very brave.
Everyone stayed outside until well after sunset - we had missed the heat wave due to sea-fog during the day but it was still warm enough to enjoy the fresh air.

(LEFT) Ray and Jamie look in awe at Nigel Malyan's bowling style. It didn't help him win though.
(RIGHT) Buffet time for the eventual winning trio - were they discussing tactics or just listening to one of Chris's jokes?
November 2003 - Midmonthly meetings went indoors with a bowling evening at the Southport complex.
15 members turned out for a buffet and 2 games. It turned out to be an excellent evening with a closely fought contest eventually won in the last Frame by Chris Nelson.
Nigel Malyan came a close 2nd with Nigel lomas folowing in 3rd place. How did I get on I hear you asking. It must have been the lowest score in the history of bowling - the war wound was playing up again!
