We are your local MG Owners’ Club catering for enthusiasts, owners or even just admirers of the MG marque. We have no prejudice as to age, colour, model or style of MG, providing it’s wearing the badge it fits.
The Dorset Dawdle
Bournemouth and Poole MG Owners Club has announced exciting plans to host a brand-new regional event in 2026 – the inaugural ‘Dorset Dawdle’ an extended literary themed one-day road run for MG owners through some of the county’s most picturesque countryside.
This first Dawdle will take place on Sunday 06 September and is being sub-titled ‘Following the Hardy Trail’. It will visit towns, villages and other locations that appear in many of Dorset author Thomas Hardy’s famous Wessex novels such as Tess of the D’Urbervilles, The Mayor of Casterbridge, Return of the Native and Far from the Madding Crowd.
Entry fee will be £35 for a car and two occupants or £27.50p for a car and driver only. This will include a rally plate, route book / event programme, finisher’s certificate and the Dorset Cream Tea.
For more information see the Dorset Dawdle page on this website (the link is above).
About 1020
The classic cars owned by our members range from a pre-war J2 through several TDs, a YB, an RV8 and hordes of MGBs up to modern MGFs and TFs as well as MG3s and all-electric MG4s and everything in between. We also welcome Midgets and Sprites with open arms. Our attitude is ‘Your MG is your passport’.
We are an autonomous club within the national MG Owners’ Club and, as such, are designated 1020 (region 10 area 20). You do not have to be a member of the national club to join us, but there are many benefits and the club is very supportive of its members.
At club nights, we provide a variety of entertainment with guest speakers, film shows, skittles and quizzes as well as an annual Pride of Ownership evening. There is also the opportunity at club nights to sign up for various activities and outings.
Our four seasonal road runs are extremely popular and provide members with even more opportunities to enjoy their cars and make new friends. We also attend local car shows with a club stand and organise a variety of social activities including coach trips to regional attractions.
As a member of 1020 you receive a monthly email newsletter, which won the National MG Owners’ Club award for the best club newsletter in 2012 and 2020. It will keep you up to date with all the events that we will be supporting both locally and further afield during the year.
You are welcome to come along to a club night to get some idea of our activities. Should you wish to join us, the annual membership fee is £15 for couples and £10 for individuals, Membership also gives access to discounts from local parts and service suppliers, as listed in the newsletter, on production of a current membership card.
OUR CLUB MEETINGS ARE ON THE FIRST MONDAY OF EACH MONTH AT HAMWORTHY SPORTS CLUB, MAGNA ROAD, CANFORD MAGNA near WIMBORNE BH21 3AE – MEETINGS START AT 7.30PM.
