Welcome to MG-ROVER-South East,we have been doing this event for around three years and have steadily built it into the biggest regular MG-Rover South East meet,there have been some changes of venue along the way, but at Brentwood it has worked best and continues to be the regular meet venue.

We meet up around the 3rd Sunday of the Month,but sometimes due to other popular events this is changed by a week either side.The Halfway House in Brentwood,has easy access from the M25/A127 to Southend,it has a large car park of which we use the back near the play area,serves meals and drinks and has all the facilities we could use

We arrive as the designated time which is about Noon so that we can make a day of it and avoid the dark nights that we get in the winter months.

After looking at Members Cars we take a few pics and weather permiting we stay outside to greet anyone who has yet to arrive, were not hard to find as we all park together in the Venue Car Park.

hi David ,pleased to see you are going want to ask you about you photos skills and hope some of it can rub off on me. I am ok with taking them it's after that it all goes pear shape ,from photbucket onwards.------GARY

Of course Stuart, just park around the corner though. You know you'll be made very welcome. Name on list.

:D I must have the only Tourer that looks like a Saloon ;) I'll see if I can buy one before the meet so it matches my description :}

It's my age. Now amended.

Thanks :D On a serious note if I had the space I'd buy a tourer as in the 75/ZT version they are the prettiest out there :drool4:

Depending on whether or not i get roped in to cover my Mother's cafe for the day, I'll be there ! :D

Name now on the list FezzyFox. Be nice to see you.

What time are we all arriving ? 12 ish or before 12 ish? :)

Meet normally kicks around Noon. But people like to turn up early to collar the top car park, failing that parking in the middle on the far side of the pub. If coming in from the A127, from the M25, watch out for the pot holes outside the Little Chef. I went past a few days ago and they had put cones out.

Have a good meet. Weather is looking promising.

I'll planning to come along in my recently acquired (green) Tourer... It'll be good to meet up and chat with a few like-minded peeps.

Phil

Welcome aboard Phil, name on the ever growing list.

Hopefully no worries there...

And you are going to miss it:duh:
Always next to time

I've been attending the Halfway House meets since September 2010 on regular basis. I've been there in the heat, rain and snow. The meet is very established now with an ever growing following.

I like to attend other meets in other area's and sometimes they clash with the Halfway House. That cannot be helped, and yes I'm going to miss a rare treat. But there is always another time I may see these 5 Coupes, or more, at another meet.

On the first Saturday of every month there is a Rover SDi meet at The British Queen PH in High Street Meldreth Cambs and I've seen some rare Rovers there as well, I go whenever I can.

So enjoy yourself in the sun.

Looks like it's going to be a nice meet, and my first too :)

Enjoy. They are a very friendly bunch. We'll meet another time.

Thanks. I'm sure I'll have a good time

My first meet and had a great time and met some wonderful people :} Can't wait to see you all again.

A lovely sunny Sunday. Glad I went (although I had to leave early!) and being my first time attending any MGR event was imoressed at the turnout and the people I met (and the cars I saw)... Will go again, definitely...

Some pics:

My car a safe distance from the more impressive cars on show! (But she looked OK - however the 'bullet-riddled' windscreen - ;) lol and cloudy headlights need attention!)
