On the 3rd February 2013 hundreds of people took to the streets to mark the 50th Anniversary of an historical Welsh Language Protest in Aberystwyth. Theatr Genedlaethol Cymru producted Y Bont (The Bridge) around the town re-enacting events. Yvette ( UML 237 ) was invited along with 4 other cars to participate and we were parked opposite the Post Office and really felt part of the production. Suzie Arnell.

Chairman Peter Vielvoye's YA at the Cotswold Classic Car Club annual New Year's Day meet at the Frogmill Inn, Gloucestershire. The good weather meant hundreds turned up and enjoyed an excellent day out.

The above four pictures depict "Sabrina", aka YB0686, driven by Mick & Jenny Bath. Another good day out for the motorcar at the Lincolnshire Aviation Heritage Centre at East Kirkby, Lincs. This is a fascinating living memorial set up by Fred and Harold Panton in memory of their brother, Christopher, who was killed in action on a bombing raid in 1944. Christopher owned an MG and the Panton brothers have an annual award for the MG they would most like to own. The whole site is dedicated to the 55000+ aircrew that died in Bomber Command during WW2. As an ex bomber crew chief (Vulcan not Lancaster) Mick has an affinity to those brave lads who gave their all for liberty and freedom.

Sabrina was awarded ‘ MG Car of the Day’ by the Panton brothers and also First Prize in the separate MG Car Club pride of ownership show. Two awards on one day! The car behaved herself impeccably.

Peter Vielvoye's YT starting the Chipping Sodbury to Castle Combe Run for the Rotary Club on June 24th.

Mick Bath's YB (Sabrina) had an excellent day out at Calke Abbey on Sunday 17 June at the MG Octagon Car Club Wings Rally organised by Noel Lahiff. The car was awarded a very nice silver cup. Mick believes the cup is awarded in memory of Chas Carraway and was for the best saloon on show. As Sabrina was the only enclosed motorcar there on the day, there was not too much competition!

Chris and Annette Callaghan took their YB to the Churchill Classic Car Show near Chipping Norton in Oxfordshire.

Jerry Birkbeck also took his YT to the Churchill Classic Car Show but still has the Spring Run Rally plate on his bumper thus voiding any points claimed for the Car of The Year Award!.
