West Sussex MGOC marshall the Regency Run each year at the Madeira Road end point in Brighton.
In 2008, it’s the 25th Regency Run and I want to encourage ALL Home Counties South MGOCs to have a noticeable presence there, stalls, banners etc.

Let’s show the MG world that Region 10 is a throbbing lively affair.
SO many MGs on the Regency Runs have no local club affiliation so let’s put that right!
