About the Club

The Club was formed in the early 1970s and is part of a National and International network of MG Car Clubs. It is affiliated with the MG Car Club, UK, the Confederation of Australian Motor Sport and the ACT Council of Motor Clubs.

The Club aims to foster the enjoyment of all models of MG cars through social runs and events involving the use of the cars, motor sport competitions and displays. All activities are conducted very responsibly, with most sporting events conducted under CAMS regulations

Mutual assistance in maintenance, restoration and operation of the cars is provided through specific events and an interchange of advice at monthly meetings, Tuesday lunchtime natters and indeed at all events.

There are about 250 members with over 200 MG cars including most models up to the models produced in recent years, making it the strongest  car club in Canberra, Australian Capital Territory

Club Services
The Club holds an extensive library of books and videos available on loan to assist members in the maintenance and operation of their cars.
An engine hoist, a car trailer and other items are also available on loan.
The Concessional Vehicle Registration scheme is available to members.

Meetings and Events
Meetings are held on the second Thursday of each month (except January) at St Peter's Anglican church hall, corner of Parkinson St. and Watling Pl., Weston (opposite Cooleman Court) at 7.45pm. An informal lunchtime natter is held at Lotus Bay, Alexandrina Drive (near the Yacht Club) each Tuesday from 12.30pm.
There is at least one social event involving use of members' MGs each month and a motor sport event several times a year, although the costs of Insurance hinders the holding of more sporting events
