Welcome to The UK Kit Car Club
The aim of the club is to help and support members during the build (and inevitable ongoing maintenance and modification) as well as to plan and organise events throughout the year. The Club attends the major kit car shows throughout the year providing a stand with tea and coffee, plus a BBQ with food for members. You'll be warmly received, especially if you bring more food and drink !! We also have stands at many other shows all around the country.
It's not just shows though, our active area secretaries and members regularly arrange run outs and longer trips to such places as Le Mans, Wales and Scotland, plus the annual club camping weekend and the traditional “end of season” get together. Keep an eye on the events section of the forum for news and details of upcoming events.
The Club also produces four magazines a year, exclusively for club members, filled with all manner of things club or motoring related, and members can get their own articles published in it as well if they wish.
The Club is an independent organisation, and although we have our roots as the Robin Hood Owners Club and Register (RHOCaR), we are very much a club for all makes and model of kit car, so anyone can be a "Hoody", as it's all about the state of mind, not the car you drive! Being a member of The UK Kit Car Club has many benefits above those already mentioned. Members benefit from discounted insurance with nearly all of the specialist kit car insurers, and often find that the discount is more than the club membership fee. Membership also gets you full access to the forum, and a variety of other discounts such as with Euro Car Parts. You'll also find other members are willing to go well above and beyond for any other member they see is in need of help !
So whether you own a Robin Hood, a GBS Zero, a Locost, an MK, a Westfield, a Caterham, (or any of the many other types of kit car), everyone can benefit from joining, so what are you waiting for ?

Hi everyone.
Well August was one of the best months for some time. As usual we lost a few, but this time it was only 4 non-renewals (Technically it was 6, but 2 of them are long-term members who I assume have just forgotten to renew). But we gained 9 new members. Here they are (as usual it's Username (and first name if not obvious), Location and Area Sec). Welcome to all of them:

Had an incredible time at yet another car meet! The laid-back vibe was perfect, with a diverse range of vehicles on display, from classics to modern builds.
The event also delivered on food, drinks, and music, creating a great atmosphere all around. But the real highlight was connecting with like-minded car enthusiasts.
If you’re into cars and good company, this is a must-attend event. Highly recommended!

Back from a nice day at the Stamford Car Show. Weather was good so it was very busy and there were plenty of interesting cars on show. We parked in our usual pleasant spot next to the river, although we found out later we were in the wrong place as they had redesigned the field layout but not told anyone No problem though as no-one seemed to care.
North East area August meeting Tues. 27th from 7pm
Our regular monthly meeting at the Church Mouse Chester Moor DH23RJ from 7pm. All welcome, let's continue the upward trend in numbers, so good to see as many attending.
West Midlands Monthly Meet 28th August 2024
![richyb66](https://www.rhocar.org/uploads/av-2460.gif)
Next Wednesday 28th 6pm onwards, Malt Shovel Pub, Coventry Road, Nr Stonebridge, Coventry, CV7 7HL.
Generally they're trying to kick us out just after 930pm so if you're coming, don't leave it too late. Also, if you want to eat, book beforehand as they don't normally let people just rock up and eat.
Entrance to the pub car park is off the A452 Chester Road heading North 50 yards from the island.
Everyone welcome. For the first time in a long time, I won't be there as I'm on holiday so see you either at the next meet in September or on the Wales run-out which is posted elsewhere on the forum.

East of England meets for August

Been a bit quiet for the first 2 weeks for various reasons (including my car's MOT) so time to get out in this glorious weather. Bit of a late call but we are going to have a drive out to Foxton Locks (LE16 7RA), 12:00 tomorrow (Monday 19th) for a picnic lunch. All are welcome.
For those who haven't seen them the 'staircase' is a dramatic spectacle, and the site of the original 'inclined plane' which preceded the locks is also particulaly interesting.
Anyone fancy joining us, let me know.
Run out to Wales Sat 14th September 2024
![richyb66](https://www.rhocar.org/uploads/av-2460.gif)
I'm planning a run out on Saturday 14th September. Destination to be decided but most likely to be either mid-Wales coast or North Wales, it depends on who's attending and where they're travelling from.
I plan a full day, so leaving Midlands before 9 and arrive back later afternoon.
