The MG Car Club
Steeped in tradition........
On the 5th of September 1930, the popular magazine The Light Car published a letter from a Mr Roy Marsh which suggested “What about an MG car club?”
On the 12th of October 1930 the first meeting of the club took place at the Roebuck Hotel near Stevenage, with over 30 MGs and their owners coming together. Roy Marsh was there, as was John Thornley who was elected Secretary of the new Club that day. A committee was formed and a date in November agreed for the next meeting, at which 50 MGs turned up for a run – the MG Car Club was well under way. To read more go to http://www.mgcc.co.uk/
