There will be an MG cars paddock exclusively for MG Car Club Members, but space is limited, so if you are intending to attend, click this link to book your place. Wheels and Wings.
New dates for the Tuesday Lunch Natter at the White Hart
Following discussion with the committee and the Lunch Natter leaders, it has been decided to change the White Hart Lunch natters from the 2nd Tuesday of the month to the 1st Tuesday of the month. This is to alleviate the problem of both the Tuesday and Thursday natters occurring in the same week (as it does 4 times in 2026 under the old dates) allowing those members who wish to attend both lunchtime natters at least one week apart. The calendar and website dates have been updated and are available here, Printable Calendar and Lunch Natter Dates (two separate links).
South West Centre AGM
It has been confirmed that the Centre, Annual General Meeting will take place on Saturday 7th March followed by lunch, at the Three Magpies Melksham, as last year. Full details will be made available nearer the date.
Clothing Store
With Christmas fast approaching, why not consider some South West Centre Logoed clothing? Head for the Clothing Store on the website and treat yourself, or a friend to some excellent value clothing with the South West Centre Logo.
90th Anniversary Year 2026 – 90 for the 90
To celebrate the 90th Anniversary next year, all Club members are invited to take part in “90 For The 90”, a Self-Guided Motor Tour around the Centre. The aim is simple – to get us all out enjoying our MGs. Let’s drive them!
Every South West Centre member will receive a birthday card which will list 90 places or events of interest within the Centre, that can be visited between January 1st and September 30th 2026 – no set route, no set timescale, it’s up to members on how they choose to take part.
The birthday cards are at the printers and you should receive one in with your Safety Fast magazine (for those with an online only subscription, the card will be available on the website for download and printing). Select a destination from the list in the birthday card, take a digital photograph of you, your car, your birthday card and the location as evidence of your visit and submit a claim and photograph by email (A special address will be set up). We are not expecting you to visit all of the 90 places, but there could be a prize for the MG car that visits the most different venues.
