Near Future events

Each month the club organises a run for members and their cars. In summer, there will be a place of interest for a picnic and in winter, members drive to a lunch venue. Events can be found either through the event pages above or from Steve who is contactable by email at [email protected]

David's April Update

We are ready for April bringing warm sunny spring weather (we hope). Some will have
observed Ramadan and celebrated Eid al-Fitr and our cars are out of hibernation. Or are
you one of those still attempting to finish off those jobs supposedly done in the winter?

Drive it Day later this month is the target to have all our cars out on show driving around
the countryside. We of Louth MGOC will be heading for breakfast and a visit at the
Lincolnshire Road Transport Museum then attempting to follow directions to our lunch
venue. We shall be waving to other MGs and all classic cars we meet on our travels, some
may even find the headlight switch and flash!

In the past 2 months we have had some fascinating speakers at our club evening. In
February Stewart Parker, well known in the veteran, vintage and classic car world ,regaled
us with tales and pictures of cars. bikes and exploits. Stewart provided an insight into the
classic car auction scene with tales of vehicles consigned, donated, sold and also of
buyers reactions.

We donate our club’s carbon footprint contribution to the Lincolnshire Wildlife Trust for their
work in environmental conservation which includes much carbon capture work. In March
Matt Blissett will be telling us of some aspects of his role as the Trust’s warden for the
Outer Humber and coast.

In April we shall hear Simon telling tales of his ancestor during the search for the North
Pole and attempts to find the Northwest Passage round Canada.

In February we started our club runs with a run carefully planned by Chris in the south of
our area. Followed by Steve in March exploring northern breakfast and lunch venues. We
travel west for Drive-it-Day planned by Gerry. Thankyou to you three.

David's March Update

Now we are in to Spring and our cars are back out on the monthly club runs and our
entries are posted for all the summer one-off and special runs and shows. This month our
run is on Sunday 16th with details to members nearer the date.

The year looks very busy with several new events to try as well as established ones. Sometimes we join with other areas for our monthly run, at the same time offering our support to those organisers and
clubs. Other events we visit as individuals, enjoying the run to a different part of the country. Within this busy schedule we all have to plan and take our own special trips. This spring we have members exploring various parts of Britain, some are touring Spain and Portugal, other members will be driving to Southern Italy and making contact with MGOC members in that country. What a wonderful network of international contacts is provided through the MGOC. When planning a club weekend away do club organisers consider tapping in to the local knowledge of the specific area club, even to obtain information on accommodation, sights or venues to visit? Also when travelling abroad it is always
comforting to know of a sympathetic contact if things go wrong with the car.

Thinking of MG motoring events we in Louth have the details for entry for the 29th Viking Run. Details
and application forms on our website. This year our finishing venue is the 8 sailed Heckington Windmill. Entry includes a tour of the Mill which also has a visitor centre, tea room and brewery, plus gardens, picnic area, on-site bakehouse and museum. A perfect day out for everyone. However, this year our numbers will be restricted so ensure you have your entry in quickly.

Hi, if you have read this page you are interested in MG’s or classic cars, our club is not just about the MG we have an array of other marques. We meet every 1st Monday, monthly, and welcome owners or those interested in all forms of classic cars. Please feel free to turn up at the Brackenborough hotel on the evening at 1930 and be assured of a warm welcome and an invitation to join our friendly and welcoming community.
