Announcement
by the organising clubs, TSSC, MG Car Club and TR Register
" It
is with deep regret that we must announce that the 2022 Triumph
and MG Weekend, due to be held over the weekend of 19th -21st
August, has been cancelled. The organising clubs, TSSC, MG Car
Club and TR Register, made the difficult decision to cancel
the event due to experiencing a lack of ticket sales against
a backdrop of sharply rising costs for holding the event. Ticket
sales were 70% down on where they were this time last year ahead
of the similar event at Malvern.
All ticket holders will be refunded in full, including
camping and additional extras such as Autojumble pitches and
electric hook-up. Traders and sponsors will also be contacted
and issued with a full refund for all monies paid." |
A
spokesperson for the organising committee said, We are
devastated to share this news. Last year, the TSSC, MG Car Club
and TR Register all enjoyed award-winning success when the classic
car community recognised the collaboration between the clubs
as a true innovation within the community and all three clubs
received accolades from the industry. However, the cost of living,
in particular fuel prices, and the backlog of holidays and other
events after the pandemic have all influenced attendance levels
this year. The organisers from each of the three clubs have
therefore had to ensure that they are carrying out their duty
to safeguard the financial stability of their respective car
club.
Please do not contact the TR Register or MG Car Club at this
early stage regarding refunds as they will be automatically
processed for the general public, TR Register Car Club members
and MG Car Club members and will be appearing in bank accounts
over the next 5 - 7 working days. There is nothing you need
to do to obtain your full refund at this stage. We expect all
refunds to have been processed and received by ticket holders
by 8th August 2022.
If you have booked accommodation in the area, please contact
your host immediately and inform them of the cancellation by
providing them with a copy of this announcement. For other enquiries,
please use the contact
form or see our FAQs
page.
TSSC and Stag Owners Club members should contact their
club directly for refunds.
Looking to 2023
The TSSC, MG Car Club and TR Register will now focus on creating
a series of celebratory events for next year in commemoration
of the centenaries of both the Triumph and MG car brands. To
ensure we are providing you with the sort of events that you
would like to attend, please keep an eye out for our forthcoming
digital questionnaire on club events. We would appreciate you
sparing 5 minutes of your time to complete it and provide the
organisers with valuable feedback to help us deliver events
that youll want to attend in the future.
TR Register Car Club will now conclude the Round Britain Relay
for TS2, the first right-hand drive TR2 that has been travelling
around the UK since April at the Great British Car Journey Museum
at Ambergate on Friday 19th of August. An invitation is open
to all to welcome the iconic sports car back from its epic voyage
at the Derbyshire based museum instead. Please see the TR Registers
website for more details.
The MG Car Club will be out in force at the British Motor
Museum at Gaydon on 25th September for MGB 60 event commemorating
six decades of MGs most successful model. Details via
www.mgb60.com .
The Triumph Sports Six Club and Stag Owners Club will
both have displays at The Classic, Silverstone over August Bank
Holiday. Ticket holders are advised that all refunds for the
Triumph and MG Weekend should be received by 8th August 2022
and an FAQs page and contact form has been set up here.
The organising clubs are devastated to share this news with
you and so apologise sincerely once again for the inconvenience
and disappointment this announcement brings."
