Welcome to the MG Car Club Lincolnshire Centre

 

From the Author Bob Welch.

Hi everyone

I was again this year unable to attend the AGM. However I was notified of a couple of comments re the website.

I am more than happy to take constructive comments and that appeared to be the case.

With that in mind I would ask you all to please do the following

If you believe something on the site is incorrect then please email me with the correct information.

If you would like something adding again please contact me with details

Finally it would be great if when you attended one of our events or natter events please send me a report (in Word) and photos (1meg?)

Kindest regards Bob e mail here

Volunteers are always desperately needed to fullfil positions and help with the organisation of our Centre. If you feel you would like to help and be involved with the committee/officers then please fill in the nomination form and return it to the present Centre Secretary, I can assure you that you will be made more than welcome. Over many years I have learnt the old saying which is that you get out of a club the same as you are willing to put in, I find this to be exactly the case.

National Drive your Classic day 26th April 2020

MG Car Club supports National Drive Your Classic Car Day – April 26th

Drive to The Walled Garden, Baumber

The MG Car Club (Lincolnshire Centre) will support National Drive your Classic Car Day by organising a drive-in event to The Walled Garden, Baumber (near Horncastle) on Sunday, April 26th 2020.

All owners of classic cars, especially MGs, will be most welcome. David Stonehouse, Competition Secretary of the MGCC Lincolnshire Centre says, “We encourage all classic car owners to attend. They will be most welcome and can participate in a walking treasure hunt and a Pride of Ownership Competition for MGs and non-MG cars with the winners receiving a prize.

Participants will have the opportunity of meeting at five locations across Lincolnshire and then  driving through scenic countryside to meet at The Walled Garden, Baumber at about 11:00am or driving directly to the venue.

The Walled Garden, Baumber is an innovative and exciting garden, full of hidden surprises and vastly different from the traditional kitchen garden that it once was. It is owned by designer and photographer, Sonia and David Elton, who live in the former head gardeners cottage, with their family.   The Elton's took on the project in 2006 when the house and gardens were derelict.

In 2016 the family decided to open the gates to the public on Friday afternoons to see if anyone wanted to come and have a look. They were overwhelmed by the amount of visitors and the positive comments that were made. By May 2017 the former potting shed had become a lovely tea room, a plant sales area was developed and a series of courses and events were added to the calendar.

Refreshments are available in the garden tea room – a quirky, innovative and interesting building or participants may bring their own picnic.

Entry forms are available from the MG Car Club’s website mgcclincolnshire.co.uk under Calendar page, then April 26th. Entry forms are also available directly from David Stonehouse by emailing him on davidstonehouse1@btinternet.com

For more details about The Walled Garden see the website  http://www.walledgardenbaumber.co.uk/
