EAST SUSSEX MORRIS MINOR CLUB | home
ESMMC Rally
For 2008 we wanted to do something special as it's not only the 60th year of the Morris Minor, it's also the 25th Rally that East Sussex Morris Minor Club have held.
We had Bentley Wildfowl for the 2 day event - we arranged a bar, live music on Saturday night and more. all we needed was good weather - and we had the best weekend of the year so far.
We had over 90 cars visit us over the weekend, mainly Morris Minors, but a number of visitor cars. It was a shame we were let down by the Scouts - some were supposed to be helping us out.
2007 was a washout - the worst rally we have had weather wise since I joined ESMMC
We had a few pictures of the day, but not many were taken.
We returned to Michelham priory again, this time on the lawn in front of the house.
Sunday 7th May 2006
location: Michelham Priory, Upper Dicker, East Sussex BN27 3QS
As I wrote on the home page, we had a superb day at Michelham Priory today. The weather was lovely - an unexpected warm and calm day, opposite of all the forecasts and the weather we had yesterday.
Pictures will follow - Jason took a few, and Tony and Annette took loads. They didn't photograph the cars on entry as they did last year, but took lots of pictures. Hopefully a CD of pictures from 2006 rally will also be available to purchase -details soon.
The cars looked great parked on the lawns amongst the flower beds - which due to recent weather were not as colourful as last year. We didn't leave until about 5pm, then a few of us went for a drink at the nearby Berwick Inn to round the day off.
Mike Hallett's lovely restored Royal Mail van Kevin and his new traveller - will be finished in September
