TheMGZS.co.uk at car shows?

Hi everyone

I go to Castle Combes 'Action days' which they hold twice a year, these days cater for all types of cars and are generally a very fun day out!

I have been in the past with another car club, but I think it would be good if we could get an MG ZS presence at these days, this club has some lovely cars and it would be good to have a nice showing on the stand and on track, especially if we could upset some of the scoobs etc in front of big crowds! lol

I personally dont know how you go about arranging a club stand etc, im hoping someone on here may?

Any thoughts on this would be good to hear them!

Another idea ive had is...

Every year on the Severn Bridge (crossing between Bristol and Wales-Chepstow)
there is a big biker meeting called 'Hogging the bridge' where literally hundreds of bikes turn up and in procession ride across then through the valleys and into chepstow.
Its often used aswell to raise money for charity.

Below is a link (I hope! lol) to the Hogging the bridge site

I think it would be amazing if we could have a similar event with MG's, imagine it, as far as the eye could see of MG's! V8's, 180's, ZR's, SV's!

Anyway before my enthusiasm carries me away..... lol

Any thoughts on this greatly appreciated

Been to a couple of the MGCC charity days at Castle Combe, where you can buy a few laps around the track.

How much were the Action Days??

Went round Brands as a Novice and that was only £25 for just under a hour out on track. That was long enough for me, think the all day ones take a lot more out the car.

Pride of Longbridge is quite good for ZS turnout.

Hi Peter

The Action days are generally £10 on the day or £8 in advance, the track sessions are £35 I believe?

Can we sort a stand out for Trax next year? I don't mind sorting it, coz when I went this year, I saw a grand total of 3 ZS's, which is shocking lol

Track time as well, I think it's £30 or £35 per sesh.

The more Zeds the better. Got to show the world what a gr8 car it is. I got my MGR flag, just looking for a pole. My local MGR garage, still has its Rover/MG sign on the wall. It was a Renault/Honda/MGR garage/ Has gone into liquidation, and the new franchise is moving in soon. Trying to chat to the builders to see if they will take it off the wall. CAn be used then for club displays..........
