Many of you will have read of past Autumn Gael events in the JE magazine and I am slowly working through what might be possible for 2022. The format is for a 5-day / 4 night mini break with fellow Modern XK enthusiasts, with a mix of activities to suit most tastes. If you want to hear more about the plans as they develop, then drop me an email to modernxk@jecmodels.org.uk

My initial thinking for a 2022 Autumn Gael is to tag it as a follow-on event from the Jaguar Summer Festival, which will be at Newby Hall on Sunday the 14th of August 2022. This means that the Autumn Gael would be going for a check-in to our base hotel on Monday, the 15th of August 2022 and lasting through until check-out on Friday, the 19th of August 2022.

Initially the plan is for a 2-night stay in a Glasgow city centre hotel - easy to access and well placed to allow attendees to have a range of city based activities on Tuesday, the 16th of August. This would be followed by a move on Wednesday, the 17th of August to a second hotel, but this time based in the Perthshire hills to accommodate a different perspective on the activities. The switch to our second hotel would involve a scenic drive through the Scottish countryside, with sightseeing stopovers enroute.

Here are a couple of photos from our Modern XK Autumn Gael trip to Glasgow and Pitlochry, which was enjoyed by everyone who came along. Not sure if we will be able to continue to undertake such events, but if you want to be kept informed, why not send me an email and I will add you to the mailing list to be kept up to date on what's happening within the Modern XK Section.
