The local ‘MG Touring Andalucia’ classic car club rallied round
to visit the classic motorcycle and car meet in Villanueva del
Trabuco, followed by a trip to the Viñuela feria - both well
received events with many enthusiasts participating. Derek
Squires, the Malaga contact for the UK MG Owners Club said,
“we enjoyed a lovely 80kms drive there and back through the
mountains via Zafarraya, only €3 to take part, was given two
printed-logo polo-shirts, a delicious dish of paella, a can of drink,
and a trophy to bring home, so can’t really beat that for a day
out!”. Their day continued with a successful charity Macmillan
Coffee Morning hosted by Derek and his wife Debbie for the
MGTA car club raising €176! If you would like to donate to the
Macmillan charity, contact Derek and Debbie, and if you have
any model MG car, classic or modern they are all eligible -
