„The Octagonal Berlin Event"  - from 24th to 27th August 2006

under the patronage of His Excellency Sir Peter Torry,

the Ambassador of Great Britain and Northern Ireland in Berlin


Welcomes the participants of the meeting in Berlin

 

Once again, at the end of August, we look forward to seeing the most beautiful MG cars, old and not so old here in Berlin. We, the MG Club Berlin welcome you to a parade through the city with the Berlin Police Motor Cycle Team “Weiße Mäuse”- the White Mice, a tour into the countryside near Berlin and a gala evening: all in all an exclusive programme.

Vintage and classic MGs from 1928 to 2005 will be expected to the “Octagonal Berlin Event“ in August 2006 from all over Europe. As before, this meeting is hosted by the MG-Club Berlin. A varied programme and good organisation has made these meetings very successful and the attendance has increased every time.

His Excellency Sir Peter Torry, the Ambassador of Great Britain and Northern Ireland in Berlin, has agreed to become patron of the 9th International MG-Meeting Berlin 2006.

British car enthusiasts have enjoyed these events in the past and many will be coming back again this year. None of the participants would like to miss either the parade through the city or the rally in the countryside surrounding Berlin. This year there will be a special surprise.

It will be a fascinating experience for our capital, Berlin, when the unmistakable sound of English engines reverberates through the city.

„Gentlemen start your engines".

The members of the MG-Club Berlin are looking forward to the meeting in August 2006 and invite everyone fascinated by the 4 wheeled Brits to come to the meeting in Berlin.
