The Brunel Run is an annual event by the Bristol Area MG Owners'
Club at the beginning of September. We believe it may now be the
only weekend area MG event. Like many good ideas, the Brunel Run
was 'born' in a pub, the initial brainchild of Danny Fenton, Simon
Hawkes and George Barnard. The ethos of the weekend has always
been to enjoy a great run out in an MG (preferably) and, hopefully,
make a bit of money toward a charity along the way.
In 1993 we raised the princely sum of £150. It is a testament to
Brunel attendees (and sadly inflation) that we are able to present a
sum more in the region of £1500 to our charity these days.
Since 2007 we have been privileged to use the premises of the
Bristol Children's Help Society at Barton Camp near Winscombe.
The facilities there are fantastic, with camping facilities plus some
indoor accommodation and a heated swimming pool. All the funds
raised go to help with this worthwhile charity that provides holidays
for disadvantaged children from Bristol and surrounding area.
Bristol Children’s Help Society is non-denominational and non-
political. It exists to give needy children time away from the stresses
of home life.

At our November Club Night
2017, members expressed an
interest in the revival of The
Brunel Run. You may
remember our splendid
weekend event at Barton
Camp with the option of
indoor accommodation for
two nights or the alternative
choice of just coming for the
day run on the Saturday. IF
