Hi all I've just spoken to one of our long term members who said that one of the main reasons East Sussex left MMOC was that there were not enough MMOC members to make the committee - so the insurance would not then be valid.

Minor Monthly have always given us plenty of space - apparently the MMOC called a special committee meeting when I wanted to place the ad, I wasn't available to speak to them, so one of our committee member's took the call. I think enough people know are aware of the refusal to place the ad - I put ...

Why East Sussex left MMOC

Thank you all for your comments for the rally at the weekend. It was hard work, 2 years in planning and all depended on the weather - which was superb. We were washed out last year at Michelham Priory! There will be some pictures on our website shortly: www.morrisminorclubeastsussex.co.uk Comment ab...
