CT MG Breaking News
The club is looking for a simple way for people on the website to get in touch with the right officer without us posting individual email addresses online. The plan is to set up one general club email address, and then have a designated “operator” who checks it and forwards messages to the appropriate person.
This would not be a high-volume job, but it does need someone who looks at their phone regularly so messages do not sit too long. If you think this is something you would be willing to handle, please contact me and we can get it set up. It would be a really helpful service for the whole club.
If you are interested in this position, please contact Bill Wright for details.
British by the Sea is the marque event of the Connecticut MG Club gathering some 300 plus British vehicles at Harkness Memorial State Park each year. This event has been planned and supervised by two club members since its beginning. The club is now looking to evolve this undertaking to a committee level, splitting up the task into manageable chunks. Click here for a detailed job description.
As I see it, there is a Mech Group, T-shirts, Awards, Plaques, Signage, etc, a Sponsorship Group to pay for the merch and does the advertising of the event, a Hospitality Group, manning the field, tents, food vendors, parts vendors, etc, and an ON-Site Group, doing field prep, working with the State for the park, Planting day, and Marking the fields, and of course ""Day Of" coordination".
When you see yourself as participating in one of these or perhaps other groups, please contact Andre with your thoughts.

To entice the young enthusiast to join our ranks and continue the tradition of MG ownership and auto repair, perhaps we should offer a discount for membership to the club. Hagerty, the well-known classic and specialist car insurance company, ran a “Why Driving Matters” survey back in late 2020. They do it every couple of years to track what’s happening in the classic car scene—who’s buying, who’s interested, and how those trends are shifting over time.
What really stood out in the latest results was a surprise twist: it’s actually younger people who are showing the most enthusiasm for classic and collector cars. According to the survey, 53% of Gen-Z, 57% of Millennials, and 49% of Gen-Xers said they’re very interested in owning a classic vehicle. Compare that to 33% of Boomers and just 19% of the Silent Generation, and it’s clear the hobby’s future is looking pretty youthful.
In other words, the classic car community is getting younger—and that passion for vintage rides is alive and well among the next generation of enthusiasts.
What if we did as the MG Car Club does for the European youth? Consider this:
The following discounted pricing is available to young people:
If any of this sounds like it has merit, let's talk about it at one of the monthly meeting early in 2026
