Morgan Meeting, Staplefield 2 November 2024
This year our venue for watching the annual Veteran Car Run was split between two locations, The Jack and Jill pub at Clayton, where several SexMog members had booked lunch and the traditional meet up at Staplefield where we were joined by HopMog as well and a few other Morgan Centres.
The reason for this was that The Jolly Tanners Pub in Staplefield around which members have met for many years, was closed for refurbishment and not open for the run. However we were all amazed at the stylish renovation and extension work that had been done at The Jolly Tanners which is expected to open in the New Year. The pub had laid on various food stalls, including pizza and an airstream eating place, a guitar player and set out tables and chairs outside so that people could sit down to eat. The weather was very mild for November and as usual hundreds of classic cars clustered around the green . We enjoyed watching the veterans pass including penny farthing bikes and a variety of vintage transport, accompanied by loud cheers.
