Natter & Noggin'
On Saturday July 13, we have our next Noggin’ and Natter coming up which will coincide with the Katie’s Cars & Coffee in Great Falls, VA.
We’ve had a very diverse Natter & Noggin selection for 2024 and we hope to continue that, not only in location, but in content. The July 13 Natter & Noggin will be no exception. This one is designed for early birds AND for late sleepers. We’re going to hold this one in concert with Katie’s Cars & Coffee. As many of you know, “Katie’s” is a car cruise-in that occurs from about 5am to about 9am and has an emphasis on exotic and foreign cars. A perfect setting for our MGs.
The focus will be on the car cruise and Katie’s Coffee House for any morning beverages and breakfast foods. It doesn’t stop there…we will extend the Natter and Noggin until about 1pm, so it will become a brunch/lunch event after 9am and shift to The Old Brogue Irish Pub. The car show will dissipate after about 9am, but now we can focus on our MGs and brunch/lunch/libations at The Old Brogue. See the calendar entry here. Show up with the morning crowd, or latter with the brunch/lunch crowd, or why not do both! Katie’s/The Old Brogue is located at 760 Walker Rd. Great Falls, VA 22066. Call/text Chris Lutz at (703) 565-7476 with any questions.
Now Available - Helping Hands
The website now features a new benefit for our members. We now have full-featured online photo-based classified ads where you can sell cars, parts, search for things you need, list car storage space and other features.
One highlight, is that we’re also supporting Helping Hands. This is a new concept we have where some of members have volunteered to lend a hand with others doing projects on their cars. Keep in mind, this isn’t us volunteering to do the work, but is instead an extra pair of hands while you are doing the bulk of the work. We may be able to offer experience or expertise while we’re at it, and at least include moral support :). You can post your upcoming cool projects in a new section, as well as list yourself if you want to occasionally help others. The new classifieds can be found here, and from there you can navigate to the other sections, including the Helping Hands.
New Photo Classifieds
Trying to sell a car or some rare parts? Looking for a new car, or perhaps a place to store your baby? Some special tools perhaps?

Ads are free for club members, and run for 90 days, or until the item sells, and are renewable online. Post an ad today!
