Rolling V8 Calendar


Track days with MGs on Track (MGoT). It's a specialist branch of the MG Car Club wich aims to organise fun, sociable track days where MG enthusiasts can enjoy their cars in safety, with fellow enthusiasts and at the best possible price. Our events are non-competitive, there is no need to modify your car and there is no expensive equipment required. All you will need is a helmet and that can be hired from MGoT. Their events are run for enthusiasts, by enthusiasts, and entirely on a voluntary basis. More

Visit to Rousham House and Gardens
Rousham is completely unspoilt and uncommercialised – no tea room and no shop – just glorious gardens to explore at your leisure. Bring a picnic and comfortable shoes and it is yours for the day from 10am. Don’t miss the walled garden with its herbaceous borders, small parterre, pigeon house and espaliers.
One of England’s most important gardens, Rousham represents the first phase of English landscape design and remains almost as its designer William Kent left it.
