The MG Car Club of Toronto is pleased to announce that it has been awarded the privilege of hosting MG 2010. This will be a gathering of approximately 300-350 MGB's for a three-day extravaganza of driving events, a car show and parties. We will hold the event in Belleville, Ontario, Canada on June 23-27, 2010. Our proposal to the NAMGBR (North American MGB Register) executive committee was accepted just after the Annual General Meeting in Valley Forge, PA (home of MG2008) on October 27, 2008. About the LOGO 1/ The Octagon - self evident 2/ The Loyalist Parkway Logo extract: Yellow couples with blue background.... this is the logo [pictured upper left] of the Loyalist Parkway (Highway 33) which runs through Prince Edward County south of Belleville. We have secured permission to use this logo from the LPA (Loyalist Parkway Association) because it promotes the road and the History of the United Empire Loyalists. MOST of our planned and self-guided drives will be on this road, or parts of it, so the participants will see this Logo frequently and it is a perfect tie-in to the driving events in the region. 3/ Left - Belleville, ON - host city. Right - Event Dates 4/ Bottom "Loyalists" - There is a double play on the word ... the United Empire Loyalists who, remaining Loyal to the British flag, fled the USA to Eastern and Upper Canada after the War of Independence. They are a well organized historical society and will be contributing to our program. In addition, there is the 'MG / British / LBC "Loyalist" play on the word ... so by coming to MG 2010 you are in essence also an MGB / NAMGBR Loyalist. We made it plural, LOYALISTS, to connote a gathering of multiple persons of like mind. Finally, there is a natural historical tie-in to MG 2008 and its Valley Forge Liberty Bell theme. Participants this year will be able to learn all about the War of Independence and two years later will be able to learn about those 'Loyalists' who were displaced by the War and fled north and east.
