Annual British By the Sea

We are happy to announce that after a hectic, unsure COVID year, the 34th
annual CT MG Club’s British By The Sea Gathering is back for 2022 ! It will be held
on our usual date of the first Sunday in June, which will be June 5
TH, at Harkness
Memorial State Park in Waterford CT on the North shore of Long Island Sound .
BBTS is a popular vote, fun event, with etched glass mugs being presented as
awards. For 2022, we will have 32+ Classes, displayed on our 4 acre field. We want
to encourage ALL British car, truck, and motorcycle owners and enthusiasts to
attend and have an enjoyable time. Whether your vehicle is in pristine condition, or
a daily driver, sparkling paint and chrome or with “Barn Fresh” patina, it deserves to
be part of the event and on the display field.
For this year, we have divided the Jaguar Marque into 4 separate Classes, one
of which will be our Featured Marque Of The Year, the JAGUAR E-TYPE.
Come down and enjoy the day mingling with other LBC owners, talk about
cars, have a picnic, a glass of wine, and also take in all that the 240 acre Harkness
Memorial State Park has to offer, such as the beach, the Mansion “Eolia”, and the
Gardens. The CT MG Club donates a large amount of our proceeds from BBTS to the
Park to purchase plants for the West Gardens, helping to restore the “Eolia”
Gardens to their original grandeur as designed by Beatrix Farrand in 1919. In
addition, we provide “people power” over a few weekends to plant them.
We have selected a variety of quality food vendors to attend in order to
satisfy any appetite, from coffee and pastry, hot dogs and hamburgers, lobster rolls,
deli sandwiches and wood fired brick oven pizzas, to Ice Cream for dessert. You can
also bring a picnic to enjoy and share “out of the boot” of your car.
The expansive lawn areas offer ample room for the display vehicles, vendors,
spectator parking and a spacious area for trailer parking.
