The MERSEYSIDE MEET Every First SUNDAY of the month @ 13:00pm
MAY to OCTOBER
The GAME BIRD - St.Helens
WELCOME
We are MG-ROVER - MERSEYSIDE, we are a group of MG-ROVER owners and mg-rover.org Members who organise the monthly Merseyside Meets and events in the Merseyside Area.
ABOUT US
It all began in early 2008 when Andypower set up a topic called "whos in merseyside" in England - North to see if there were any other .org members were local to him, following on from that ROVER-25X set up the first topic of what would eventually become the Merseyside Meet, it is now the longest running monthly meet on .org, we have held 6 years worth of regular Monthly Meets, 5 Christmas Meals, 3 Track Days, 5 DYNO Days and 8 Tunnel Runs.
Members from all over the UK have attended the Meet and we average 10 cars per meet, our Record is 23 Cars which was during Tunnel Run 2, come on down and enjoy the atmosphere with a fantastic bunch of helpful and friendly people.
ABOUT THE MEET
The Meet is arranged on the first Sunday of the month from MAY to OCTOBER as we now only operate in the summer months and it always starts at 13:00.
We aim to have a Meet Rep to arrive early to greet everyone as they arrive, the meet is always in the early afternoon so that we can make the most of the daylight and enjoy the fantastic sunshine in the Summer months.
We usually spend our time outside chatting, looking at the cars in attendance and lending a hand fixing problems or help fitting mods and sharing tips and advice, we always try to take photos of the line up of cars in attendance and group pics including the work being done on cars, we also occationally film videos of the meet and of Members cars, due to the great location we have a 60mph road at the front of the meet location so we can capture the induction roar and exhaust sounds of members cars if they wish us to do so safely and within the limits of the law.
Our primary Meet location is The Game Bird, we always have the meets at Pub Restaurants with access to a large car park access to Food, Drink and Toilets, plus if the weather takes a turn for the worst or if it is too cold there is always somewhere warm to sit.
These Meets are Family Friendly and we make Members Spouses and Partners feel very welcome, we normally find locations with Playgrounds so that members with Children are able to attend, all the Locations have Baby changing facilities.
Don't confuse these meets with the local Chav Cruises down at your local retail park, yes we hang around in car parks chatting away but we don't act anti-socially, the age range of our regular Members is 19-60, anyone is welcome to attend, there are no age barriers at the Merseyside Meet.
INTRODUCE YOURSELF
If you are new to the Meet then please introduce yourself to the group, in the past we have had a few cars arrive and the owners just sat in there car and eventually drive off, we have no idea who you are until you tell us so please jump out of your car and say hello to the group, we are very friendly and don't bite.
PROMOTE THE MEET
There are a lot of MG-ROVER owners all over the Merseyside, Midlands and general North West area that attend the meet and we gladly welcome more, if you know any other Members on Rovertech.net or have any family or friends who own an MG-ROVER then please let them know about us, if you are a Member of another MG-ROVER owners Club or forum then it would be great if you could generate interest in the meet and post up a link for our facebook Group and inform there Members of the Merseyside Meet.

It never really runs in wintertime due to the cold, but thats irrelevant as its no longer a regular event due to low attendance.
