The MGCC is organising a social event on October 10th at the Gaydon Museum. Outline details are below. Evidently they can accommodata anything up to 1,000 people which implies 500 cars .
If you are thinking of going along perhaps you coud say so here, just to give us an idea of how many Triple-Ms may be there. We'll keep you posted with any other details that we hear about!

Thanks everyone who has replied, which is helpful in gauging the number of likely attenders. Keep them coming!
Bookings have to be done through the British Motor Museum website, but I don't think they have opened their lists yet...

I have just spoken with the team at the British Motor Museum and they report that online bookings will be available from w/c 8th September.

A further update today from Lauran of the MGCC Kimber House team who reports as follows:
"We are currently still going ahead with the event as Gaydon is a Covid Secure Venue and has all the necessary measures in place. Numbers are capped inside both buildings and they've limited the event based on the amount of parking spaces in the areas to the front of the museum. The latest announcement from the Government doesn't prevent it going ahead.
I've been assured by the museum that tickets are selling well but they have made it clear that they will refund tickets should the event not go ahead."
I should add that although Triple-M owners are encouraged to attend the event if they wish, the Register itself won't have a formal presence. This is largely because of health/vulnerability issues that affect many of us.

I cannot believe this is going ahead. This hardly sends out the right message in the face of all that the Government are asking people to comply with.

Well said, Terry!
Quite apart from the issue of sending out the right message, and irrespective as to whether Gaydon is a Covid Secure Venue, there is a growing number of areas, particularly in Wales, where travel outside of the appropriate 'county' boundary is forbidden, save exceptional circumstances.

I see that the MGCC have put out a posting today extolling how covid secure this meeting is going to be.
My view is to stay well away
It is just the same as the arguments for getting spectators back into football stadiums. You can very safely get 1000 in a 30,000 seat stadium - but you have no control whatsoever in what the 1000 are doing when they are going to the match and after the match.
Go to Gaydon [or anywhere] with your MMM and you will attract the potentially covid ridden flies around your car [and you]
Want to risk it ??? |

Absolutely agree with you Tony and so do all the people who have emailed me direct. The MGCC should act in a more responsible way and cancel this event to ensure their members are not put at risk for the sake of chasing a few bucks.
