Merry Christmas & Happy New Year from the Admin team

PictureDid someone say cakey?
Tis almost the Eve of Christmas and the end of another year beckons, so we thought a quick review of the year for our club was in order.

It's been a year of milestones for the group - we have doubled our numbers during 2017 and are closing in on 21,000 members as I write this.

In other headlines, we had our first-ever club stands at the Practical Classics Classic Car & Restoration Show at the NEC in early April as well as the Classic Motor Show at the same venue in November, and were also shortlisted in the Best Use of Social Media category at the Classic Car Club awards.


Last but not least, we launched our online club shop to raise funds for bigger and better club events in the future.

​​Other official club events organised by our Events guy Gar Cole with great support from Mike Peake and others included The Pride of Longbridge at Cofton Park Birmingham (April) and John Simpson organised the club's return to the scene of our first-ever meet at the Bubble Car Museum in Boston, Lincs.

On to the Gloucester Vintage Extravaganza organised by Mike Peake and featuring the now-legendary "Council House Scum" incident, our first-ever driving tour around Snowdonia National Park organised by Gar Cole and to finish the year, our stand at the Classic Motor Show at the NEC in November.

Our thanks to all those involved in making so many events happen and to those who made the not inconsiderable effort to take part -- in particular to Gar, without whom most of the above would not have happened. Also sincere thanks to each and every one of you that has posted, commented or blogged in the group during the year - keep on doing that!

Coming in 2018

The New Year promises to build on the successes of 2017 - current plans include:
  • Coventry 24th Feb
  • Practical Classics Car & Resto Show NEC in March
  • Peak District driving tour 11th May
  • Boston Bubble Car Museum 26th May
  • South Wales driving tour 15th June
  • Gloucester Vintage Extravaganza 5th August
  • Somerset driving tour 12th August.

Finally

We hope you are looking forward to the New Year as much as we are. Last but not least, a big thank you for all your loyal support from the Admin team Mike Peake, John Simpson, Zebidee Habib, Steve Favill, Edwin Feenstra, Andrew Tanner and myself. We would like to wish everyone a peaceful and happy Christmas and a healthy and prosperous New Year.

... oh and one last thing - a brief message from Gar to all 2018 club event-goers....

.... BUY A RUDDY A-Z!

NEC Show March 2018 - Non-UK members help needed

10/12/2017

You might already be aware that we are delighted to have a stand at the Practical Classics Classic Car & Restoration Show with Discovery in March 2018.

The selection process for vehicles to display on our stand is already well in hand and purely for logistical reasons this tends to limit us to UK-based members vehicles, but this year we want to involve our global membership too. How? Well, we have decided to acquire a display board for our stand, so the plan is to display the best quality overseas members' vehicle photos on it.

So, we want great quality photos of non-UK members' pre-85 British motors to show on the wall to demonstrate to the show-going public, organisers and judges that our membership is genuinely global. 

​Send 'em in if you're proud of your Brit!

CLOSED 17/01/2018 - NO MORE SUBMISSIONS ARE BEING ACCEPTED.
