  1. The 2022 Triumph and MG Weekend, due to be held over the weekend of 19-21 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. 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.” The organising clubs have stated that all attendees, traders, and sponsors will be automatically issued with a full refund and that these are now being processed automatically with urgency. TSSC and Stag Owners’ Club members should contact their club directly. 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. A questionnaire will be issued to club members in due course with the hope that feedback gained from that will better instruct organisers on what attendees and club members are looking for from events in the future. The Round Britain Relay for TS2, the first right-hand drive TR2 that has been travelling around the UK since April will now complete its tour at the Great British Car Journey Museum at Ambergate on the 18th 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 Register’s 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, commemorating six decades of MG’s 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 on the website at www.triumphandmgweekend.com .

    Hi The Club has been "Embracing social media' for quite a while now, they all are quite different & all necessary to represent and present the Club in this way in modern times. It is the TSSC Facebook GROUP that you are referring to above & yes groups are a bit of a free for all with information getting an instant answer & disappearing amongst so many other posts just as instantly. We also have a Facebook Page - this is very different & has a posting from 'The Club' every day. Many active areas also have Facebook Groups helping to keep everybody informed & reminded of events coming up areas like, Dewent Valley, Gloucester, Manchester, Essex, Scotland. Etc etc We have two Twitter Accounts, is the Official TSSC Feed which has a posting on it every day with other retweets as and when. This is also fed on to the home page of the TSSC website, so you can see the daily posting if you wish without going on to Twitter. The other Twitter account is for TriumFest. We are on Instagram with a daily post. We have a Pintrest Board with plenty of "pins" on it creating interest & activity. In April 2015 I wrote an article which was published in the Courier titled TSSC Social Media explaining where we were to date. Also including an update on the Forum. There will be other things in the pipeline as and when we feel it is right for the Club to be on that platform. A lot of hard work is going into promoting the TSSC in these areas. Jane Rowley
  5. Hi Roy, I have a couple I could measure (they are bound to be different!!!) - I have sent you a message & you can let me know exactly where we need to measure. Cheers Jane
  6. Hi Steve, The way the web site is set up it is for the Area Organiser to input the local events & meetings there is no limit to how many they can put on. Some AO's do a great job of this & some don't do it......yet. If your events are not on the local AO may need some help or assistance to do this. Also the links to web sites & face book pages are easy to set up & then they will work, I have set up Gloucester Area's & they function efficiently, if there is any error in setting these up a quick email to Club HQ can sort any errors. It's very easy to use, it's just getting around to it. Jane
