Welcome





Cheshire Lotus Owners Group

 

The Cheshire Lotus Owners Group or CLOG began in mid-2002. It sprang from the mutual interest of the 'original' Lotus Elan by people who where fed up with the 'club' system with rules, regulations, committees etc.... and who found that they all lived within the Cheshire Area.....some bright spark said that it might be a good idea if they all met up and, hey presto, CLOG was born.
Since then we have grown slowly adding an additional member every couple of months or so...we share our knowledge and experiences of Lotus, the engineering, things we have modified (but not necessarily Improved!!!)...we also attend car shows, car rallies, race meeting, auto jumbles and anything that may involve a lotus....we are always happy to help and meet new members....you must be aware that this is in no way a formal club!!! there are no rules, membership fees, committees....you don't have to turn up to every event or meeting!!! nothing is compulsory.....you come and go as you please and do what ever you wish to do....all we ask in return is that you love Lotus.
We meet once a month on the first Sunday at the Swettenham Arms, Swettenham, Nr Holmes Chapel, Cheshire. at 1.30pm for drinks....food is   optional (but rather good here, as is the beer)...families welcome.....we have several 'members' who attend with wives, girlfriends, kids etc...(don't think we've had any in-laws yet but there is still time!!!)
