MGFIM ’22 – An Event For Modern MGs

Emerged from a series of events known as the MGF International Meetings (MGFIM), eight years ago a couple of enthusiasts had decided to revive the old acronym “MGFIM” and to give it a new meaning: MG Friends In Motion. An event to meet old (and possibly lots of new) friends at least once every other year to drive around, have a chat and a good time. The idea is to offer all modern MG drivers – from RV8s to the last MG TFs, from Metros along the Z-series to the latest MG3 – the opportunity to join an inexpensive event – there is no registration fee!

Originally, the meetings were set to take place every other year in the odd years. Having already visited Germany, England, Belgium, and France – Sweden was on the list as next for 2021. As with so many events, the Corona pandemic forced us to even this tradition out and postpone the meeting in Malmö to 2022. Also, we have reverted to the traditional Ascension weekend 26 to 29 May, 2022.

The event base camp will be in the city of Malmö in Sweden’s southwestern province of Scania (Skåne), just a short trip from the Danish capital Copenhagen across the famous Öresund bridge.

MGFIM ’22 will be organised by MGCC Sweden and is limited to 50 cars and teams. The exact programme is still work in progress, with the overall itinerary set up as follows:

• Wednesday, 25 May: optional “Day-B-Fore” meet in Lübeck/Germany in the afternoon, to collect participants from all over Europe (organised by MGCC Germany)
• Thursday, 26 May: joint ferry crossing from Travemünde to Malmö (return ticket approx 90 EUR), welcome get together in the evening at the Sky Bar
• Friday, 27 and Saturday, 28 May: driving to various interesting destinations in Scania
• Sunday, 29 May: farewell tour to the ferry port for those going home

Our event hotel is the Best Western Malmö Arena which has a “Sky Bar” on the 16th floor, offering a 360° view across Malmö and the Öresund bridge. Free WiFi and a tasty breakfast are included in the room rate as is parking in one of their own garages. If you like, you can even stay a couple of days before or after the event at the special MGFIM rate.

Registration will open on 1 December, 2021 on the web site www.mgfim.org.

As one of the organising team of MGFIM2009 at the Eemhof in The Netherlands, I'm very much aware a lot of people from Scandinavia spent time and energy in driving into the low country to join our event. Hoping to see them back on their home ground at MGFIM2022!

Registration for MGFIM'22 Sweden is open http://www.mgfim.org/

Bookings are halfway up by now (only two weeks) with visitors from Sweden, United Kingdom, Germany, Belgium and The Netherlands. Trusting some more will pop up during the next few weeks.

It does look good so far Kasper.
It will be a great event in a lovely area within Sweden
