Join us for the Network’s 2025 Rally

By Current Events

The Pre-war Minor Network’s 2025 Annual Rally is to be hosted by Garry & Marilyn Waiting in the magnificent county of Cumbria. The Lakes & Dales Rally will be based upon the Crooklands Hotel, near Kendal and will be held over the three days Sunday 15th – Tuesday 17th June. The change from our traditional Friday to Sunday format was necessary as hotel availability over our preferred period was severely restricted. The rally dinner will take place on the evening of Monday 16th June at the hotel. Also available are Motorhome and Camping facilities:  There are two sites very close to the hotel. Little Acre Holiday Park which is situated across the road from the hotel beside the canal, or Waters Edge Caravan Park which is a very short walk down the road. There are also plenty of B&B properties available to rent in and around Kendal and very close to our base.
The two planned tours will take in some spectacular views across the Lake District National Park and will include visits to Shap Fell, Ullswater, The Eden Valley, Kirkstone Pass, Lake Windermere, Bowness, Kirby Lonsdale, Dent Station (on the Settle-Carlisle line) and Sedbergh.
This is the Network’s 15th rally, although our first in the North of England, and will provide those Minorists who live in the northern counties an opportunity to meet-up with some of their southern counterparts and take part in what promises to be a memorable event.

HURRY – JUST TWO ONE SLOTS REMAINING !

Triple M Corner no.376

By Triple M corner

The Triple M series of MG’s all belong to a family of models that commenced with the 1929 MG Midget and continued through to the mid-thirties via a long string of four and six cylinder OHC engined cars that forged the marques identity.

This recent eBay purchase is one of four images of this car now residing in the Network’s archive. KJ 4831 was first registered in early March 1932 in Kent. This would make this metal panelled MG M Type Midget among the last couple of hundred M Type Midgets to leave Abingdon. The car toured France in the mid-thirties, more of which in a future edition of TMC.

DRIVE-IT-DAY 2025 is Sunday the 27th of April !

If you are looking to exercise your car, vocal chords and taste buds, then join us at the Cross Keys in Redgrave, Suffolk IP22 1RW on Sunday 27th April. Be there for 11:00 AM if a short circular tour around the lanes bordering Norfolk and Suffolk appeals. We’ll get back to the pub around noon. This leaves plenty of time for a natter before landlord Steve and his staff serve lunch. (Booking essential – Ring 01379 673333). The 27th is Drive-it-Day, so get it out and use it!
