45 Annual British by the Sea, Connecticut
June 5, 2022 @ 8:00 am - 5:00 pm

The Connecticut MG Club is happy to announce that after a hectic, unsure COVID year, the 34th annual British By The Sea Gathering is back for 2022! It will be held on the usual date of the first Sunday in June, which will be June 5th, 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, the event will have 32+ Classes, displayed on the spacious 4 acre field. The event organizers 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, the club has divided the Jaguar Marque into 4 separate Classes, one of which will be their 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 the 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, the club provides “people power” over a few weekends to plant them.
The club has 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.
