June Newsletter date correction – MGs in the Park
My apologies, I can only explain by either my typing finger slipped, or my brain cells are decaying. Probably both.
In the June Newsletter we advertised the Oxfordshire MG Owners Club MGs in the Park annual event at the Cotswold Wildlife Park, Burford as being on 24 June.
It isn’t. It was on 4 June. My sincere apologies for this mistake.
We want someone to run the T Register’s MG Live natter!
Panic over
We have now got someone to run the natter so it will go ahead as normal on the late Saturday afternoon in the XPAG Specials marquee where you can sip the drink of your choice, admire the XPAG Specials, and swap stories with your T Type colleagues …
This is an urgent plea.
We had thought we could get someone to take Graham Brown’s place in organising the traditional natter we hold in the XPAG Specials marquee late on the Saturday afternoon at MG Live, but we’ve drawn a blank.
The beer has been ordered, and Graham will show you the ropes, but please, we need a volunteer to run the event. So either you, or if you know someone who would be willing to take it on, please email our Secretary Sally Silcock and let her know.
Time is pressing for someone to come forward and we don’t really want to cancel it …

Trip to the Ardennes – change of hotel
Those T Register members who are going on the Ardennes trip with Bill and Sally Silcock will have heard that the hotel they have booked has suddenly and unexpectedly ceased trading. The good news is that they do seem to have fallen on their feet and have secured a new hotel for the trip that looks to be quite used to dealing with classic car clubs!
You can read all about the changes on the event page, but this is a notice that if you know of any of the participants who have NOT received Sally’s email, please can you let her know.
The T Register and the the California Cup and Autosolo at MG Live!
These two events have been moved right to centre stage for this year’s MG Live – they will be held on the tarmac area just outside where the main club marquee is normally and where the concours was held last year. In previous years they have been held in the car park near the Silverstone entrance where you had to be keen to go and see them.
So … the T Register has been asked to enter a 3 car team for the California Cup which is an autotest or driving test, and to encourage T Type owners to enter for the Autosolo event. You can read all about them and how to enter on our extended MG Live info section on our 2017 Events page.
