A reminder regarding the Annual Dinner & Presentation Evening which takes place on Saturday February 28th 2026, the menu selection form can be found within the pages of the Calendar tab…

Also, New Years Day run, we look forward to meeting you at the Abbey Lodge before a leisurely drive to a mystery venue that is central for everyone’s homeward journey afterwards.

To break up the boredom between Christmas and New Year have a scroll through our planned events for 2026 and see if anything is of interest to you.

The events have been added to our calendar provisionally and since we set up the calendar we have already added the Classic Car show at Lincolnshire showground to the list of exciting events within our Centre.

All events will have entry forms etc added at a later date.

Autotest Sunday 14th – East Kirkby – CANCELLED

Derek Wright — Wed, 10 Sep 2025 20:53:08 +0000

HI Folks
The weather forecast for Sunday is torrential rain from 1100am onwards.
Steve Hall has requested that we cancel the autotest on the grounds that
it is the on the Main Car Park of the Aviation Centre and in view of the
weather may cause substantial damage to the grass surface. This is the
first autotest we have had to cancel because of the weather for as long
as I can remember but I am sure you understand the reasons of taking
this difficult decision.

The next autotest is scheduled to be at Strubby Airfield, near Alford on
a tarmac surface on Sunday 12th October 2025 starting at 1100am. Please
contact Ian Mackenzie or myself if you want to enter that event and your
entry monies will carry forward to October. If you wish to have your
monies returned just once again contact Ian and he will arrange a
refund.

Derek – Please amend the website to indicate the event cancellation
please.

My apologies to you all.

David

Where’s Cecil – AKA MGCC 100 Cavalcade

William Stock — Mon, 20 May 2024 12:45:12 +0000

On Friday 10th May the Yorkshire Centre handed over “Cecil” to the Lincolnshire Centre at the Old Tile Works, Barton Upon Humber. With views of the iconic Humber Bridge in the background the cavalcade of 19 assorted MGs, including the 18/80 open tourer of Richard Martin, set off for a scenic drive to N T Shaw, MG dealers in Louth. Once there we were greeted by another 19 MGs from both the Car and Owners Clubs’ together with a number of other cars from the Lincolnshire Automobile Club. A cavalcade rally plaque was presented to the staff and in return they presented David Stonehouse with a number plate “MG 100”.

A scheduled photoshoot at Cadwell Park race Circuit had to be abandoned as lots of heavy trucks were arriving for a race meeting on the Saturday, However, 14 members attended a dinner celebration at the Hundleby Inn before an overnight stopover.

Saturday dawned with a photoshoot at the Lincolnshire Aviation Heritage centre, East Kirkby with their Lancaster Bomber “Just Jane” and yet another 18/80 saloon belonging to John Rogers. The cavalcade then set off for Hall’s Garage, Morton where Steve Hall and the staff put on a display of MGs and had a golden balloon made with the MG 100 logo. The cavalcade then departed for W H Brand at Whaplode Drove, near Spalding where other MGs had gathered including Dave Kempton’s J3 Midget and Rob Taylor’s WA.

Geoff & Linda Mansfield and a few others then retired for a dinner at the Paper Mills pub, Wansford where “Cecil” was returned to Geoff’s care to continue his journey to the north-west Centre.

The two days of Lincolnshire legs were blessed with wall to wall sunshine, good spirits and lots of laughter. The ‘marque of friendship’ being evident in abundance!

Drive it Day – Thorpe Camp

Sunday 21st was a dry, though cold, day the ideal opportunity to enjoy our cars. 3 runs converged on Thorpe Camp for a display, which covered 95 years of MGs, a chat and treasure hunt.

Here are just a few photos to tempt you to use your car which is what it was built for.

Annual Lunch & Awards Presentation

Robert Taylor — Thu, 02 Mar 2023 12:19:26 +0000

This year, our Annual Awards Presentation was moved from an evening event to a less formal lunch time event as a result of feedback we received from our membership survey.

We were expecting a better attendance than the 28 members who came to last years Dinner held in the aftermath of Covid restrictions. Unfortunately, we only managed to attract 34 members to the Annual Awards Presentation and Lunch held at The Petwood Hotel on 26^th February.

Despite the poor turnout, the event was a great success with a two course lunch followed by a slide presentation looking back at 2022 MGCC events. Twenty three awards were presented to members for achievements and participating in MGCC Lincolnshire events during 2022.

Howard Quayle, Director of the MG Car Club Ltd was invited to present the Awards and Trophies and then addressed the members as The Director Appointed to oversee The Lincolnshire Centre.

Highlight of the event was the announcement that our long standing member Douglas Samuel had been awarded “The Marque of Friendship” by The MG Car Club. This is a very prestigious award which we believe has never been awarded to a Lincolnshire Centre member before. It is awarded by the MG Car Club in recognition of outstanding contributions to the Marque by a member of the club.

The final Lincolnshire Centre autotest of the season was held at East Kirkby airfield on the 9th October on a sunny autumn day. Competitors had to undertake 4 different tests x three times with the worst score being disregarded for each test. The score sheet shows that Malcolm Clark in his modified MG Midget had the Fastest Time of the Day (FTD). Class wins were recorded by both expert autotester Danny Read in his MGBGT and newcomer and novice Josh Majmari in his Fiesta.

Jubilee Trophy Scatter Rally 2nd October 2022

Robert Taylor — Wed, 05 Oct 2022 14:27:54 +0000

What a great day it was for a drive out in the MG.

So it was that 7 teams met at The Wishing Well, Dyke to plot their route for the Navigational Scatter Rally.

They had to plot 21 grid references and visit 16 of them covering the shortest route.

Four teams correctly answered the clues so it was down to the team travelling the shortest distance. Both Sue and Chris Hall in their MGA and William and Alex Stock in their MG3 covered 61 miles so were declared joint winners with Sue Mackenzie and Malcolm Clark in Sue’s V8 coming in third place.

It was Alex Stock’s first Scatter Rally so well done and he has offered to organise next years event with help from his dad.

My thanks to Bill Sharp for assisting me on the day and making it a very enjoyable event.
