The Club’s History

In 1991 Alan Low bought his MGB Roadster. With the help of the Grimsby MG Owners Club he formed the Louth MG Owners Club.

In the early days of the club the aim was just to help and assist members with any problems that they encountered. The club now embraces owners in the area who have any make of classic car, not just an MG.

Starting in 1995, with the aim of raising money for charity, the club’s first annual Viking Run was held where club members and anyone else who would like to participate drive from Louth to an interesting destination including Lincoln Castle, Heckington Windmill and many more. Find out more about the Viking Runs here.

In 2016 the club relocated from the Louth Golf Club to The Brackenborough Hotel, Cordeaux Corner, louth LN11 0SZ It was also agreed that meetings would be on the 1st Monday of the month at 7.30pm.

David's June Update

So much sunshine this month we could become blasé but by the time you read this the weather may have changed. We in Louth hope not as we are having a very busy year. We have just completed our Drive-it Day run starting from the Lincolnshire Transport Museum and ending at a very good hostelry in Donnington-on-Bain for lunch. Then, a week later in May, we visited Papplewick Classic car and Steam event. Later in the month we visited “Just Jane”, the famous Lancaster Bomber, at the Lincolnshire Aviaton Centre. The month ended with visits to a vintage agricultural show.

June begins on the 1st with the Louth Lions Classic Car show, followed the next day by a talk at our club evening by John from Mr Tyre who will be answering all those questions about puncture self sealing systems, runflat tyres and sealed spoked wheels to do away with the need for inner tubes fitted.

Later in June we have our annual run and BBQ along with a raffle to raise funds for this year’s chosen charities, The Rock Foundation and the Heckington Mill Trust. A major part of our club ethos is supporting organisations doing work we ourselves as individuals cannot do. We shall support these chosen charities by some fund raising throughout the year.

Many clubs organise an annual major event, and ours is The Viking Run, which we have held for many years. This year it is on Sunday 13th July. We have received a good number of entries, many from people who have done the run several times and enjoy exploring the hidden rural roads of the Lincolnshire Wolds and Fens. We still have some places left although numbers are limited so make your application very soon.
