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.

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 November Ramble
November is here and, to misquote Keats, “The season of moists and mellow frightfulness”. We shall be out for our monthly run beginning with a breakfast at dawn (Isn’t dawn just before 9 at this time of year?). Then a run with tops up through the rain and mist to a warm hostelry serving a proper Sunday roast lunch. Followed by idleness as we let the food and drink settle before setting off for home.
Of course with our changing weather patterns we could equally be driving around in the sunshine applying liberal quantities of sun cream wearing sunglasses. One can but hope! On our part of the coast it is time for the seals to have their pups so we shall have a visit to the local colony to see how they are all progressing before having another lunch in another hostelry. November is beginning to sound like a time to absorb all those extra calories to keep the cold and the damp out. In the months prior to November we have had a busy time.
In October several of us met at Farmer Brown’s for breakfast. Here we had a wonderful choice ranging from Traditional English, to sandwiches to cakes to icecreams. Without question most if not all choices were sampled. Then on to the Skegness RNLI station for a tour of the facilities. Fortunately we didn’t have to sample a rough sea launch nor attempt a rescue. With admiration we heard of the bravery and determination of the actual crew and some of their experiences. Then time for lunch!
During September we dispersed our donations to our chosen charities, the last one being £1000 to Bransby Horse Centre who look after rescued and abandoned horses. We have now raised and donated £2250 this year. Happy Motoring.
Happy motoring,
David
