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 April Ramble

They got me! I knew it must be coming up to my turn. Yes, a pothole, a buckled wheel a day lost trying to have the wheel sorted. Repair or replace? Where is a scrap yard when you need one?
Finally at 5pm a straight wheel is fitted to my car. As I enter the reception area to pay I pass a man sitting, waiting for his puncture to be repaired, as the technician comes through and tells him he has a cracked wheel. Another pothole victim?

I have heard that there is a programme to repair all Lincolnshire potholes by 2030!!

Now to more serious matters. During March we had our monthly Club meeting with a fascinating talk by one of our members and 2 outings for club members. A run to the Bluebell Inn at Tattershall Thorpe for Sunday lunch and 2 days later a tour of Lincoln’s impressive Guild Hall, again followed by lunch. Now we are well in to Spring and our next Club run is scheduled for Drive-it-Day.

After our breakfast meet, if we manage to follow the route carefully we should finish for lunch at the Pyewipe on the outskirts of Lincoln. Members need not worry should they not read the route correctly and arrive late, someone will arrange a take-away for you. We do not like our members to go hungry, so in May we have a variety of runs and outings all planned around picnics. Everything is in place for the Viking Run on Sunday 14th July. Is your place reserved? Often places on these annual events are limited. To join this wonderful day touring the Lincolnshire Wolds see details and entry forms on the website; louthmgoc.co.uk/event/viking-run-2024 .

Happy motoring,

David

We look forward to welcoming you again next year.

Please keep following our website for details of 2024's VIKING Run

If you would like to volunteer to help out with 2024's run please put your name forward to the club committee. Sorting the next rally starts more or less straight after the previous.

As a club we are always looking for businesses local or further afield that would like to donate goods or services, that can be used to raise money for the charities we support, thank you.
