The MGCC race dates other than Silverstone are still provisional and not confirmed as yet as far as I know.

Anyone that has booked a Snooze Box for MGLive! should contact them as it seems that the boxes wont be available for the weekend. The KH team have only recently found out there is a problem. Snooze Box are 'moving or refurbishing' them even though they offered the club a discount for the weekend. Someone at Snooze Box needs to wake up I think!
For those already boxed, Snooze Box may be looking to offer alternate accommodation but not sure what or where. A phone call is required to clear this up.

With just over a month to go ......
Ticket sales are good but to get the club discount you need to get your orders in as soon as you can. The tickets are ready to be sent out.
The circuit tours are filling up fast so if you fancy a parade lap or two during the lunch time, get your orders in before they sell out.
As you may have seen else where, the MG Car Club will soon have their own set of Top Trump cards. They will be launched at MGLive!
The California Cup is in need of entrants. At present there are not enough cars entered to run the event.
The arena will be in full use all weekend, hosted by Mike Brewer on the Saturday morning and Ant Anstead the rest of the weekend. There will be a display by Formula Kart Stars in the arena during the weekend.

It is now less than a month until MGLive! 2016 at Silverstone. If you haven’t booked your tickets, then now is the time to.

With TV stars Mike Brewer and Ant Anstead in the Live Arena, and the launch of MG Car Club Top Trumps amongst everything else going on, it won’t be short of excitement!

It’s not just the inside of the track that is packed full of things to do though as all seven MGCC race championships will be on show during the two-day event.

Russ Swift will be retuning to the Live Arena to perform unmissable stunts, and maybe he will pick YOU to ride in the passenger seat. The California Cup Autotest will also be taking place on the Saturday morning, and is something that road-going cars can get involved in. Our MGF Register team are the holders of the Longbridge Trophy, so lets keep it in our name.

The MG Car Club named charity for MGLive! 2016 is Headway Oxfordshire, and they will be showing their link to the Club in a number of interesting ways that we can’t reveal too much about yet – but stay tuned. The Lifestyle Marquee will once again be packed full of fantastic gifts and treats that works as a unique distraction from everything else that is going on.

If that wasn’t enough, Silverstone will be holding circuit tours for MGCC members on both days, Meguiar’s will be holding their Concours and Pride of Ownership on the Sunday, and on the Saturday evening, entertainment is covered in the form of After Hours and the Glo Car Competition which the MGF Register is organising and the International President’s Dinner hosted by Club President John Day.

Don’t forget, all the information you need is on the MGLive! website (http://www.mgcc.co.uk), and to book tickets for the biggest MG event of the year.

For 2016, we're introducing a BBQ during the 'After Hours' party on the Saturday night at MGLive!

Starting early evening in the Social Marquee (please check the programme for exact times), the BBQ will cost £10 for one serving. This will include a burger and a sausage with a coleslaw and side salad.

With good food, good music and good beer, this could be the perfect Saturday night!

Order via the MG Car Club website http://www.mgcc.co.uk/shop/product/mglive-2016-bbq/

You will be sent a voucher for the BBQ. Please keep this safe and bring it with you to MGLive! You can then exchange it for your serving.

Pit-Stop-Cafe-edit-1024x760.jpg
The brand new Silverstone Pit Stop Cafe will be open for the first time at MGLive! in just over two weeks time, adding yet another dimension to your weekend at the home of British Motorsport.

With Saturday night packed with entertainment, it was only right that Friday night was given similar treatment. There’s a restaurant serving quality home-cooked food and also a bar that will be hosting a singer for some live music from 7pm – 11pm to really kick-start your MGLive! weekend.

Menu for the Pit Stop Cafe attached below ....

Designated parking areas for each Register. We're just on the right after the second bridge alongside the Melbourne Straight.

The After Hours party from 2013 as a taster for MGLive! this weekend.

From what I hear, the Impro Glo cars will have a good competition this year :-)
