The T Register is awarded the Nuffield Gold Cup
The T Register had a very successful weekend at MG Live this year.
We came second in the Centre/Register/Branch best stand competition – and we really didn’t expect it.
And at the President’s Dinner on the Saturday evening, we were presented with the Nuffield Gold Cup. We think the only other time we won it was back in 2003, and it came as a great surprise to us. It was presented for all the work done in rejuvenating the T Register.
There are a now quite a few news items with descriptions and photos of the events at MG Live this weekend, so have a look at our dedicated MG Live page

T Register at MG Live! 2016
We now have a dedicated page listing all the T Register activities at MG Live! including the natter at the XPAG Specials marquee in the paddock, the T Register table at the President’s Dinner, and news about the T Types 80 celebrations and the California Cup.
Reports on T Register events
There are now Reports on the T Register’s trip to Normandy and the T Type 80 Anniversary celebrations at MG Era day at Brooklands available on the Events reports 2016 page.
And now for something completely different …
Felix Lee of the MG Owners Club of Northern California publishes a photo-strip comic in every issue of their Octagon magazine. It’s proved very popular so the T Register thought of having a go themselves. The result is we hope a gentle comic look at ourselves with humour only T Register members will understand – and many thanks to Alan Wakefield who has of course a very famous surname, from which we got the inspiration of the masthead.
If you really want to know what’s being talked about, have a look at the Captain Castor comic. There’s also a menu item on the left for the comic page.
It could appear as a regular feature on the website with perhaps yourself featured … we already have quite a few suitable photos taken at T Types 80 at MG Era day … !
And we would like to express our gratitude to Felix for the inspiration – and hints!
Registering for the T Party at the Bicester Heritage Flywheel event
We have been told by Bicester Heritage that some T Type members have been going to the normal ticket booking page which doesn’t give them access to the club offer. There is a dedicated Flywheel web page for club members to register for the event –
