Wigton Motor Club celebrates its centenary this year by taking its membership to over 1000.

The club has been growing progressively in recent years and even more so since the completion of the Club’s headquarters building, the Motor House, in the north of the Lake District. 

The building was built entirely by club members over a three-year period which was disrupted by Covid lockdowns.

It provides a multi-use space, kitchen, toilets, audio-visual displays, committee room, and storage for the Club’s equipment plus parking for 80 cars.

The monthly Cars & Coffee meets are hugely popular. To celebrate the centenary and a very successful year, the Club is holding a free BBQ and celebration for members on November 12.
