Welcome to the Louth MG Owners Club
We are a community of MG and classic car owners based in Louth, Lincolnshire. Originally founded in 1991 by Alan Low, the club aimed to help and assist members with any problems they encountered.
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 May Ramble
May! That wonderful month when the classic car world becomes very busy with the opportunity to partake in events every weekend.
We in Louth begin with several members making a visit to Papplewick Pumping Station. There we shall see the great engines driving the pumps and a mine shaft lift engine operating, all powered by steam as they were built so many years ago. The sheer size of everything is incredible especially when you see a spanner almost 2 metres long! Goodness knows how much it weighs. Also there will be an eclectic collection of classic cars arriving for the day, amongst them our club flag will be billowing above our cars.
Then on the 10 th we shall be gathering at the local MG dealership for buns along with many other MG enthusiasts and their cars.
On the 19 th we have the club run to Elsham Hall for our first Picnic of the year. Time to dust off those picnic tables, find the embroidered linen tablecloths, the candelabra and the china tea service.
On the 26 th several members are booked in for the car show at Lincoln Castle. We think of this as a static show but several of us will have driven an hour each way to attend. The same applies to visiting Papplewick and for those unaccustomed to being up and about before 9am it necessitates an overnight stop to have any chance of arriving by opening time. Younger and fitter members are welcome to the experience of rising at dawn to drive their top-down MG while the birds still have their first morning cough.
Our club meeting in May will be on Tuesday 7 th due to everyone's involvement in holiday weekend events. Finally there are places left for the Viking Run on 14 th July, book now.
Happy motoring,
David
