CELEBRATE "BRITISH CAR WEEK IN SOUTHERN MARYLAND"
SUNDAY, JUNE 1ST, 2003--RAIN OR SHINE
The Second Annual celebration of British Car Week in Southern Maryland will
take place at Little Cove Farm in Saint Leonard, MD. on Sunday, June 1st,
2003. We again invite the entire British Car community to take a pleasant
drive in the lovely Southern Maryland countryside and join us for a relaxed,
free-form picnic with other LBC (Little British Car) owners and their
families. And on your way down you're also welcome to participate in "The
Great Patuxent Valley Rallye" which will start that morning near Upper
Marlboro, MD. and end at the farm front gate.
The main event is a picnic at the farm, and all are invited to pack family
and/or pets aboard, bring whatever they may want to eat, drink and play with,
and come out for a day of fun and fellowship with others who enjoy driving
and owning vintage vehicles. We learned a lot from last year's inaugural
event, and this year we will be setting up large tents and picnic tables to
provide shade and comfortable seating. We'll also have more to do and enjoy:
Live music, hayrides, nature walks, etc. If you're coming directly to the
picnic, arrive anytime after 10:00 A.M.
The rallye will be of the "Observation" type--there are no distances to
measure, average speeds to maintain or the like. Rather, you'll be given a
set of simple driving instructions and asked to supply answers to questions
relating to what you will see along the 50-mile course. All you need to
bring is a pencil and a sense of humor--you can even run it without a
navigator, but having someone to help you find the answers will be more fun.
The rallye starts at 10:00 AM SHARP and will take about 1-1/2 hours to run on
rural roads along the shores of the Patuxent River in Southern Maryland's
lovely countryside. The course ends at our farm and awards will be
presented at the picnic during the afternoon.
Last year we had about 65 cars--This year we are expecting many more, and you
can help make it so: Pass the word along to your friends and fellow car-club
members, and have this event placed on your club's calendar and in its
newsletter: The web address for this page is: <A HREF="http:///";>

TO REACH THE PICNIC: Saint Leonard, MD. is about midway between Prince
Frederick and Solomons Island on Route 4 (Less than an hour from the Capital
Beltway or Annapolis). Turn west off of Route 4 at Parran Road, go about 1
mile to a T-intersection at Mackall Road, turn left and go 2 miles to Garrity
Road, turn left and go 1/4 mile to 2455 Garrity Road--just follow the British
flags!
TO REACH THE RALLYE: From Route 4 and US 301 (Near Upper Marlboro) go south
on 301 about 1/10 mile and enter the Giant Supermarket parking lot (east
side of 301). The Driver's Meeting will commence at 10:00 AM and cars will
start immediately thereafter. Driving the rallye will take about an hour and
a half and the course ends at the farm--we guarantee that you can't get lost!
We look forward to seeing you--Michael and Mary Oritt. For further
