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 ?

La Vie En Bleu 2015
Hi all, once again I am arranging a pitch for club members at Prescott Hill Climb which this year takes place on the 23/24th May (Saturday/Sunday)
Advance tickets are £10 for either day or £17.5 for both , children under 14 free -- camping is available at £5 per adult/night & child half price.
Past years have proved to be very enjoyable --- see prescott-hillclimb.com for details.
The loos, showers & camping ground are all good quality as befits the home of The Buggati Club. There are plenty of food outlets & a restaurant all at reasonable prices.
If we have enough interest we shall arrange a collective meal for Saturday evening.
Names below please stating SAT -- SUN -- or WEEKEND tickets plus camping requirements.

Please only put your name down if you are defo up for it as i will be chasing the £35 once i have worked out the best way to collect it as i wouwld prefer it to go though the club but not sure thats an option yet
Please check out http://rwyb.co.uk. helmets and arm restraints are required. Arm restraints are about £20 pair but could be shared. Also i beleive that mothercare child wrist straps have been used but will check with pod to confirm, they are about £5 each.

Lincolnshire Meeting For March
As hinted at in the February post, the next Lincolnshire meeting will be on Saturday 7th March 'oop North' at a new venue, Doddington Hall, near Lincoln. A new car show is starting there so we felt we should help it kick off.
As usual please indicate attendance and I will up date this post. So far it's:
Me
Richard (Richard7)
Ian (barney7)
Nigel & Helen (niduncan)
Mick (mowerman)
Andrew (Ozz)
It's very close to Richard so I am delegating the detailed organising to him , so he will provide further details.
Cheers

Rhocar Fun
Seen as the shows are getting scarse and we have a massive club full of petrol heads i was thinking of looking at organising a sprint day at curborough or a club event at santa pod. Made a few enquiries and waiting to get details but who would be interested?
Did curborough 2 years ago with the west mids boys and while its a small sprint track its great to get some confidence, learn your car and test it out. I think if numbers are good isnt that expensive either.
Always wanted to do santa pod and looking into it rwyb (run what ya brung) do quite a few events and welcome clubs. One i spotted was a saturday special where you can run from 9.30 am till 8pm and you can camp over so could be a laugh and as the runs are timed we can have a bit of fun and give a few trophys out (BEST AND WORSE RUN ETC) looking at prices cant see it costing more than 40-50 quid.
Open to suggestions and help in organising
Let me know your thoughts if enough interest we can make it happen
Regards
Keith

Lincolnshire Meeting For February
Hi all
The February meeting for the Lincolnshire (and surrounding area) Chapter will be a 'Southerly' one this time, held at 12:00 on Saturday 14th February, I was going to be selfish and suggest my local pub (35 second drive for me in second gear), but their prices are a bit steep. So I am suggesting the Fox & Hounds at Old Somerby (NG33 4AB) which is a nice 'eatery' pub, reasonable prices, has a large car park and is a bit closer for those of you coming from 'Oop North'.
So far I have a yes from
Me + Ruth
Nigel (niduncan) + Helen
Richard (richard7)
Please let me know any other attendees either here or by PM so I can see if we need to book a table. I will update this list as they arrive.
Cheers
Al
P.S. Pencil in Sunday 8th March for the next meeting as I am off on a prolonged holiday again on the 12th
South Yorkshireish Area Meet February
