There was reluctant but general agreement of Council members representing their CRBs at the recent Council meeting in October 2023 to the decision that the Club shall cease planning, arranging and holding race meetings because of the serious financial risks involved and the uncertainties over race entries in recent seasons. This was agreed by a vote at the Council meeting. A suggested alternative of holding the Club's major annual event with only activities inside the Silverstone circuit will not be affordable for the Club because of the high circuit hire charges for the weekend. So there will be no MGLive! 2024 at Silverstone.
