Welcome to The UK Kit Car Club
The Committee would like to congratulate Heritage Insurance on their 60th Anniversary in 2025The 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 ?

Lincolnshire Meetings For October - Corby Glen Sheep Fair
Hi all
The annual Corby Glen Sheep Fair (http://www.sheepfair.co.uk/) is being held on Sunday 4th October. As in previous years classic cars (and kit cars) are more than welcome to attend. Last year was particularly good with about 100 cars and as I recall, about 6 of our cars came along.
It's your standard small village fair (stalls, dog show, music, morris dancers, fun fair, burgers, .....) and I think everyone who came last year enjoyed it.
I have promised the organisers a rough idea of numbers by the end of the month, so could I ask for names over the next week please. I'll edit this post as it goes along, so far the attendees are:
Me (It's only 1.5 miles away from me)
Nigel & Helen
Swan
Pete Lee (maybe)
Leicestershire Run Out
I am having a run out tomorrow going to do the full tick run if any one wants to join me
Cancelled Midlands To White Peak District Run

A similar run to one we did a few weeks ago with the Tiger crew, starting off here
McDonald's Markeaton Park
Lincolnshire Meetings For September (2)
Hi all
As the weather is looking so good for Sunday (20th) I am thinking of taking a packed lunch to the Newark Autojumble.(NG24 2NY). 'Interesting' cars, which I think include us get a £1 discount. For those who have not been before, you come off the A46 roundabout onto Drove Lane but overshoot the public entrance and the entrance you want is further down on the right. It opens at 10:00 but I will probably aim to get there about 11:00 to wander around a bit before eating.
Any takers ?
Cheers
Al
Leicestershire Area Meeting This Wednesday (New Venue)
Hi all,
We shall be switching to a new venue this month.
Its at THE GATE HANGS WELL
Lewin Bridge, Fosse Way, Syston, Leicestershire LE7 1NH
0116 260 9242
http://www.thegatehangswellsyston.co.uk/
This means that we dont have to be in bed by 9pm (the garden centre meet used to close a little too early)
As usual all are welcome, in fact the more the merrier this month as a lot of folk will be sorning for the winter soon so lets get a good turn out.
Usual times apply from 19.30 onwards.

Diary Date For Any East Of England Owners
Hi all
Those of you that do the Stilton Cheese Run will be familiar with New Lodge Farm (NN17 3DU) as the lunch stop for the run. They have a huge field they use for camping and events (The 300 cars on the Stilton Cheese Run barely filled half of it)
I have just received this:
"Hi folks
I'm happy to take the lead on this so I'll do a trawl for numbers nearer the end of the month and let them know. And if anyone fancies an organised run out from some appropriate point so we arrive in convoy I can arrange that as well.
Cheers
Al
Meetings & Runs ?
Hi all, have been away for most of the past 5/6 weeks & so have not made any arrangements for us to get together.
The situation doesn't improve for the rest of September either ( lucky us ) so the next Hants & Dorset meet will be in October.
ANY IDEAS ???
We have been absent from the Dorset area for far too long --- is any-one down that way who would like to suggest a venue for a Sunday?
By popular request we are looking at arranging a visit to a gin distillery & this will probably be in November.
One other idea is for an early evening/night visit to the Hawk Conservancy to witness the owls in flight.
And then it will be CHRISTMAS ----- shall we have our annual bird & all the trimmings before or after the year end?
Need to know your thoughts good people, put your 2 pennies worth below & we'll start the ball rolling.
Open to all , not just my crew in sunny Hampshire & Dorset.
