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.

A Track Day and a visit to Bicester Heritage
In the latest (March 2017) email Newsletter, there were two articles about two new events for the T Register.
One was the suggestion for a T Register track day and the other was for a guided visit to Bicester Heritage. The former is a suggestion from David Blackford who recently tried out a similar event held by the Triple M Register in his TD. The latter is a result of a visit to Bicester Heritage by T Register committee members to test its suitability as a venue for a revived Skills Workshop.
We are therefore asking members what they think of these two ideas. There is a form to simply express your opinion for both these proposals and we’d be grateful if you completed them, even if you don’t like the proposals – it will take 30 seconds! There is more explanation on both form pages –
