Lunch
at Silverstone in the BRDC clubhouse
Lunch to celebrate the 95th Anniversary of the
MG Car Club Saturday
7th June 2025
MG Car Club
It
all began with a letter from Roy Marsh published in The Light Car
magazine on 5th September 1930 headed "Why not an MG Club?".
Subsequently an announcement was made in that magazine of an inaugural
rally on 12th October for the purpose of bringing the Club into being.
Then a group of over thirty enthusiasts
with their MGs met on 12th October 1930 at the Roebuck Hotel near
Stevenage on the Great North Road in Hertfordshire. After some discussion
the MG Car Club was formally constituted and John Thornley was enthusiastically
voted the Secretary and a committee elected - then everyone sat down
for an overdue tea!

Dinner. More

The
95th Anniversary Lunch has been arranged by Ron Gammons,
an MG Car Club Vice President, with the support of his fellow
Vice Presidents. The venue is the impressive British Racing
Drivers' Clubhouse building at Silverstone with dining rooms
that have panoramic views over the heart of the Circuit -
Woodcote Corner and the Luffield Complex.
The dining room booked for the Club lunch has only 100 places
so prompt booking will be necessary by MG Car Club Members
to secure their place and for a guest. Details of the lunch
including the timing and the booking arrangements will follow
in an advert to be released inside the March 2025 issue of
Safety Fast! magazine - so look out for that advert in your
copy of the magazine. Note, there is only up to two tickets
for each booking made by a current MG Car Club member. Tickets
for this special lunch event will be £55.00 per person.
