History of the MGCCT
In
1930 a club was started by a group of MG enthusiasts which
soon came to be sanctioned by the then new MG Car Company Ltd. The name
of this club was simply and appropriately the M.G. Car Club Limited.
The
underlying mandate was to bring together owners and enthusiasts to
share activities and
camaraderie with other enthusiasts of these wonderful MG cars.
Fast
forward 25 years
Toronto, Ontario, Canada - Two individuals, Mike
Hunt and Bill Moffat (both current
and active members of our club), being MG
owners and enthusiasts, saw the need
for a car club to co-ordinate many of the
motorsport events of the day. An
application for Centre status was submitted to
the M.G. Car Club in England
and on June 13, 1955 permission was received and thus was born, The
M.G. Car
Club of Toronto Ltd.
Over the past 50 years our club has evolved from being primarily
involved in motorsports to a combination of
rallying,
touring and technical activities, reflecting
the changing lifestyles and
interests of our members.
Currently
our membership stands at around 300 people, representing about 400 MG
cars. While most of our members drive MGB's, many own and drive much
older cars
and some are lucky enough to have a pre-war MG in their garage. The
M.G. Car
Club
of Toronto
is a multi model MG club. The MG Car Club of Toronto has twice been awarded the
prestigious Nuffield Cup, first in 1992 and again in 2005.
In 1991 a brand new register was formed called the North American MGB
Register.
In 1992 we hosted their first convention in Peterborough, Ontario.
Over 450 MG's attended from all over Canada
and the USA.
The tremendous success of this event
was due to the dedication and commitment
of our membes. A select committee of
12 members spearheaded the
coordination and that number swelled to 50 members
when the convention started.
The success of that show 12 years ago created many new and innovative
features
that are still in use at current conventions.
The MG Car Club of Toronto has been
selected by
The North American MGB Register
to host MG 2010 which will take place
in Belleville, Ontario.
