Pride of Ownership Evenings Return for Summer 2026

The Lincolnshire Centre of the MG Car Club is pleased to announce the return of our popular Pride of Ownership evenings for the 2026 summer season.

These relaxed and enjoyable gatherings provide members with the opportunity to showcase their MGs in friendly surroundings while enjoying good company at a selection of excellent local venues across Lincolnshire.

Unlike formal concours competitions, our Pride of Ownership events are judged by the venue’s landlord, adding a fun and informal touch to the proceedings. At each event, the winning cars will receive a commemorative rosette with rosettes awarded down to third place.

A small entry fee will be payable on the night for those wishing to enter.

This year’s venues and dates are:

The Wishing Well, Dyke near Bourne – 13th May
The Abbey Lodge, Woodhall Spa – 4th June
The Ferryboat, Washingborough, Lincoln – 23rd June
including a BBQ bookable beforehand – here is a link to the entry form https://mgcclincolnshire.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2026/05/Lincoln-POO-2026-entry.pdf
The New Inn, Great Limber – 5th August

Whether you are entering your MG or simply coming along to admire the cars and enjoy the atmosphere, all members are encouraged to attend and support these enjoyable social evenings.

We look forward to seeing a wonderful variety of MGs throughout the summer and sharing another successful season of Pride of Ownership events.

Annual Lunch & Awards Presentation

Robert Taylor — Sun, 13 Nov 2022 13:59:53 +0000

We have traditionally presented our annual awards at a Dinner & Dance held in January or February but since the restrictions of Covid and the reluctance of members to attend the last Dinner & Dance held on 26th February 2022, we conducted a survey to find out what members wanted.
Only 28% of members preferred an evening dinner with dancing followed by the awards presentation, where as 43% of members opted for a less formal lunch time gathering.
The MGCC Lincolnshire Committee have therefore decided to change from tradition and the annual gathering to celebrate the 2022 Year of MGCC Lincolnshire and present the Annual Awards will be a Sunday Lunch event held in the Woodland Suite of the Petwood Hotel, Woodhall Spa.
This will be an opportunity for members to get together again after the restrictions of Covid have forced many MGCC Lincolnshire events to be postponed or cancelled.
We have the exclusive use of the Woodland Suite with reception bar; meeting at 12.30pm for lunch at 1.00pm. The 2 course lunch will be followed by a slide presentation of 2022 events and then the Annual Awards and Trophies for 2022 will be presented.

Concours/Pride of Ownership

MGCCL — Fri, 08 Oct 2021 13:12:39 +0000

The format 0f this event is very simple, clean and polish your pride and joy, drive it to the event venue, clean and polish it again and sit back whilst extremely diligent judges assess your car against a good number of similar entries. Whilst the judges are doing their very best to evaluate your efforts you can enjoy a browse around many other vehicles that are displaying, or chat with friends and similar minded individuals.

One thing is for sure, however, if you don’t win you will have a great time and there is always next year. By the way, some of us don’t take this too seriously and we wash our car and thus when we attend we simply marvel at the efforts of those who practice this brilliant art.
