MG 95th Anniversary, Beaulieu
 

August 25th 2019 ..


only open the the MG marque... :o

Ticket prices are £13.50 an adult and £7.50 a child. :eek:

Was thinking about Athelhampton house MG day but I'd much rather do this one so it's a yes from me Chris..Little convoy for the day if you fancy it mate:D:D

Anyone else fancy this one..Open to any MG model..
Cheers Ian

I fancy this one mines a bit of a dog but I'm thinking this is 5 min from me so a nice one to attend

I might tag along with the Bear or Banana. Will be able to confirm next week.

A few peeps from the swmgr owners club on Facebook are organising a stand, about 15 at present , other wise you have to park on the car park with all the other MG's. You can find info on f- book in the south west group.

Hey Ian, Athelhampton is on 11th Aug, you can do both. ;)

Hey Chris, We will most probably be there, do we just pay on the day and park, or buy tickets via SWMGR.

I think we should get in free, as my family and I appeared on the the new Beaulieu TV advert that has been running these past two years... :D

Is it worth asking the SW crew if we can join them?
Cheers

Seems peeps still have chance to go to this ..


I' m considering :D


I have tentatively suggested we might have a few ZT's to go ?

I'm going Chris, I think that Mr FB is considering making the trip and we can collect Mr and Mrs Dallas on the way :D..
Be a nice day out for us.;);)

Good morning guys, we can either pay on the day and park with all the other MG's, we can meet up and drive in together...

... or I think Dan from SWMGR group wants us to let him know today or tomorrow if we are joining their stand.

OK Wes
I don't do Facebook so maybe you could let him know that I would like to join them.
Ta Ian

its almost definite ... maybe :duh: :D


Mr FB ? sorry feeling dim ;)


C

Chris and I have let the guys know Ian, all they ask is that we purchase the tickets online using the Beaulieu website and confirm to Dan that we have bought them.
Tickets can be bought here...

The ticket price for this event is per person not per car, so the driver and each passenger needs a ticket.
Adults: £13.50 • Child £7.50.

Tickets can also be purchased upon arrival, this allows participants to park on the same grounds as all the other MG's, but may not be with SWMGR club.
This may be a better option for me, as I have two more urology visits before the 25th, one is on the Friday before, and I would rather make sure I'm fit and willing to be able to stand for the whole day, depending on what urology want to do to me... :eek:

I'm sure I will be fine and still be able to go. ;)

Here's a lightbulb moment for you mate..
MR FB = Flying Banana :D:D:D

Tickets bought and paid for Wes..
Could you inform the SW group and ask for stand location details please..
Ta Ian

DOH! :duh: its the heat ;)

Ok mate, I've informed them, just waiting for reply. ;)

i'm thinking about it but will have to wait a few days to think about it as need to sort stuff first , i can go in either the MG3 or MGF if going most likely stop near by a day or 2

Seems options now are come by myself as can't get any one interested :duh:

Or stay at home :eek:

C

There are no options... You are going:D:D

Yep! I second that, you're going Chris... ;)

I've had no reply from SW as yet, a few have asked about confirming stand details, but nothing as yet.

Not that it matters, we can always meet outside and drive in and park together making our own stand using our own banners/flags etc, bit like Sherborne really. :D

Good idea Wes
Shame theres not more going from this forum but I suppose ZTs probably only account for around 20% of the membership.
Maybe we should look at starting our own local group....
Jurassic MGs anyone?

Cheers

Any MG can attend as its 95th years of MG, I know some members have other MG's, so it would be good to see more of us attend the 95th anniversary.

Good idea about having a local group Ian, we just don't get any down this neck of the woods do we. lol

I just had a thought, isn't Paul (Reebs) just down the road, does Paul know about the MG Beaulieu show?

FAO Paul, are you free on the 25th August? ;)

almost certain we will go details still to sort . will decide closer the in which car the 3 or F

Wot all 3 of us :D


Chris

I'll be bringing the ZT and TF... ;)

Hopefully, there will be some nice MG's to see.
I went to Beaulieu a few months ago with the family & I was hugely disappointed (especially for the price).
Far fewer cars than I ever remember & very cleverly (or not) positioned partitions & poster displays to try & disguise the fact!
Would I go there again.........not likely

as a MG thing i ncan only bring the 3 or F

whats the latest plans for this? :D

I don't think the SW group even know... :shrug:

About us joining or the whole thing :D

I don't think they know their stand details as yet...

Have you heard anything Chris?

If all else fails, we can just all convoy in together and park on the showground and make our own stand, a bit like the Sherborne show. ;)

All it says on my tickets is follow participant signs.:shrug:

just asked on the SW group . ;)


Flags still in the boot :D

Same here Chris, I was thinking of using them at Athelhampton, but I'm not sure they allow holes in their lawn. :eek: I should have bought a wheel flag pole stand... :duh:

Are you not coming to Athelhampton Chris?

You never know , only if the V8 is ready in time ?

i have got tickets and will be coming in one of our MGs , we deside closer the event

Maybe we could meet somewhere here and arrive together.

Trying to contact Dan large from Poole who was arranging an area to see if I can help

I have just messaged Beaulieu about this and the arranging of a display area will see what sort of reply I get ?




C

Contacted Beaulieu events, and this is all being organised by the Solent MG club.
So emailed them, and got the reply that no contact about any reserved area has been made :eek:.

So put out feelers on the Facebook page to see how many cars might be appearing..

C

Strange although there was supposedly a few going from the FB group, i've had not a single reply there ? :shrug: .


So looks like we are doing our own thing , so if we meet up some place as suggested before and arrive togther we can be parked in a group and wave our flags :D.

Sounds good to me mate..
Thanks for doing the chasing.

I'm going along would be good to meet a few members is there a place and time we can all meet and say hi

We can sort out a good meet up place somehere convenient ? . :D

put out messages onthe Sw Face book group who started this , and there was about 16 cars originally going , but can't seem to get any replies now ? :shrug:


Chrid

I have asked on a few

Contacted the organisers again, and been asked that we display a note on the dash to see if it helps to get parked together. I'll knock up something today an post it here to print out ,I can bring copies if you cannot get a print done :D

I think I spoke too soon, seem to be dropping out one by one.

You lovely lot ready yet? ;)

What a great day we had, MGs as far as the eye could see,delightful museum and grounds and some lovely stuff in the museum including a unregistered 75 1.8 SE produced in March 2005 with just 1 mile on the clock..
Good just to sit back and chill in the shade and have a nice chat with Wes,Chris and the girls.
Didn't get to meet Russel though :shrug::shrug:

Just the one pic of Tracys lovely little TF flanked by the big lads..

It was great to catch up with you guys again, roll-on the next show. ;)

You can see I captured each of our cars with the Beaulieu monorail going overhead, I'm sad like that. ;) :getmecoat:
