I shan't be going.
Too expensive. It smacks of the MOG2009 centenary event that was 'organised' by MMC but in reality put together by a commercial events organiser. It was eye-wateringly expensive, the trade area was a joke because the true Morgan traders organised their own event and stands off-site because of the high fees. And to pay that entrance money and a highlight was to to have fifty members of the Morgan family on a stage - really?
I remember some TM contributors moaning about having to pay a tenner or similar on the day to get in to MOG2015 at Llangollen. The entrance fees for MOG2015 and next year's event bear no comparison.
Where will I be probably next August bank holiday? At Oulton Park's Gold Cup event organised by the Historic Sports Car Club where there'll be historic Formula 1, F5000 and other historic single seaters through to Astons, Ferrari to Austin A35s and possibly a Morgan or two racing.
In my opinion, the factory should leave the annual MOG events to the MSCC and its Centres. Yes they are difficult to organise and are a labour of love undertaken by Centre volunteers but they are much better for it. If I want corporate hospitality, I'll accept it but not at any price.
