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 September Ramble
July was a busy month as we hosted the Viking Run to raise funds for our local charities and welcomed people from far away and nearby.
Cars were the show piece of both the start and the finish venues attracting people to look and admire while talking with participants and members.
Mother nature decided that this year was our turn for dampness but several cars were seen with tops down all day. The team of organisers and volunteers did a wonderful job and we received many accolades for all aspects of the event.
One car requires special mention.
The 1934 Morris which has participated in many Viking Runs and this year was driven by the son of the person who initially owned and entered the car. This year’s run was to mark the dedication of an individual, their car, and the emotional ties which can develop between person, machine and event. We hope to continue seeing the same family with the same car at future events.
Later in the month some of us had a weekend in Yorkshire with everyone visiting places according to their individual desires but having a common interest and participation in this years Yorkshire Pudding Run. It was good to enjoy another club’s major event so soon after ours. After the glorious second half of July (wall to wall sunshine) we are now in September when we have to put away our picnic paraphernalia, (you know what I mean, tables, chairs, multi-tiered cake-stand, candelabra, best china, tablecloths etc.) as we begin planning our winter programme of winter drives to hostelries with delicious cooked lunches.
We are always on the search for new venues. Criteria are parking, food quality, convivial surroundings and value for money. Drooling already! Enjoy the Autumn sunshine before the gritters appear.
Happy motoring,
David
