OFFICIAL WEB SITE

The Boston Area MG Club was started by a small group of MG car enthusiasts and has grown to a current membership of over 60. The club sponsors many activities, including monthly meetings, drives, technical sessions and parties. We are a very social group and encourage participation.

General membership meetings are held on the second Friday of the month. The meetings start at 7:00. Locations vary, but details will usually be posted here, and members can sign-up for email notices via our Yahoo Group.

For 2011 we had not one but eight car shows planned for downtown Boston, right between Faneuil Hall and Quincy Market. What a place to show off your car! Because of the very small space available the number of cars is limited and all must be pre-registered and fully commit to attending the show. The official show flyer can be downloaded here. More information on the show can be found on this 2011 info sheet (download). Do people enjoy these shows? Check out this article about the second one in 2009.

Our annual car show for five years was in October at the Edaville Railroad in Carver, Massachusetts. The site offers a cranberry festival, rides for kids and craftspeople. Our last show was held October 11, 2008. You can now see an image gallery from the 2008 event Here. This show will not be held in 2011.

Membership dues are $25.00 per year (includes a subscription to the British Marque). You do not have to own an MG to be a member. Come to a meeting to join, or use the "Join" link at the right.

Faneuil Hall, July 23, 2011: Once again BAMG returned to Faneuil Hall in Boston for a British car show on the cobblestones between Quincy Market and Faneuil Hall.

Check out the photo gallery here.

British Car Day At Larz Anderson Museum, June 26, 2011: Many BAMG members were on hand for the large show held annually at the Larz Anderson Museum in Brookline. The weather cooperated, making for a great day. A photo gallery showing some of the cars can be found here.
