ianc Posted February 24, 2021 Report Share Posted February 24, 2021 Wow - hadn't expected this! A good idea as the number of weekends now available in the season has been halved by Covid, and this will help to ensure that the Weekend is a success from the financial standpoint, as well as adding variety to the mix. I'm glad that I have accommodation booked - I booked in December and shifted the date to August a long time ago. Ian Cornish Quote Link to post Share on other sites

john.r.davies Posted February 24, 2021 Report Share Posted February 24, 2021 (edited) Gosh! Good news! Extremely good news for MG as "MG Live!" the MG International at Silverstone has been cancelled for 2021. It didn't fit into the 'road-map' for lockdown exit (Lexit?) whereas the Malvern event did. MG Live! normally attracts 4000 MGs, augmented by the presence of many pre-WW2 examples and MGs produced up to the present day. In a show that has only the TR series of Triumphs, they will be lost at sea, so will pre-war and small chassis Triumphs be invited and the event promoted to them?

Ian Vincent Posted February 24, 2021 Report Share Posted February 24, 2021 (edited) On the principle that tickets might sell out rather quickly, I went looking for them on the website but the various links don't appear to be up and running yet. Rgds Ian PS Have since tried other links that did work, even though it is not 1st March yet Edited February 24, 2021 by Ian Vincent Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Mick Forey Posted February 24, 2021 Report Share Posted February 24, 2021 John, the event is a joint venture between TR Register, TSSC and MGCC. However, all Standard and Triumph clubs have been invited. We will also invite other classic car club members to attend. The more the merrier. There is a already working team set up with Lesley Swain, Cat Tunnadine and Jo representing the TR Register. This sort of thing is the future of the classic car movement. Tickets go on sale on 1st March. Mick Quote Link to post Share on other sites

RogerH Posted February 24, 2021 Report Share Posted February 24, 2021 IN Wayne's News Flash he compared the TRiumph/MG event to City V United I prefer Preston V Coventry (Lauri Bond (minicar) v all the rest) Roger Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I've probably confused the system by booking our weekend tickets as a TRR member, but putting down the MG Midget as the car we will be bringing as it is a 1961 example and so is an anniversary car.

Mick Forey Posted February 24, 2021 Report Share Posted February 24, 2021 Haha. We need some fun ideas for some inter-club competitions: tug a TR vs tug an MG? The auto-solo is going to be a bit more competitive this year! Lesley and Cat need your ideas and enthusiasm. Mick Quote Link to post Share on other sites
AndyR100 Posted February 24, 2021 Report Share Posted February 24, 2021 Congratulations to all involved in the collaboration to make this happen - as mentioned earlier this kind of event will undoubtedly become more and more commonplace in the years ahead but the virus has certainly acted as a catalyst. .......

Three big clubs, with big memberships, and big personalities running them, all getting together to be involved in one mega-event. Soon someone will have to be appointed as the Top Man to knock all the heads together, and to produce a seamless weekend. So who should that be ? And no, I'm not looking for a prestige job .... Hon.
