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 ?

Inaugural Lincolnshire Area Meeting - 9th March
Hi everyone
After a 2-year absence the Lincolnshire 'chapter' of the RHOCar club has been resurrected.
I have just taken over as Area Secretary and will be responsible for organising the meetings. Because Lincolnshire is such a large county we will probably follow 'florin metal works' idea of a roving meeting, sometimes in the north, sometimes in the middle and sometimes in the south.
Our inaugural meeting will be a 'centre' one, and will be a Sunday Lunch outing to the 'Muskham Ferry' in Newark on 9th March. I visited it today and it looks ldeal, next to the River Trent (but not flooded apparently ) with a large car park, a large restaurant and a 'family room' if we fancy that. The address is
The Muskham Ferry
Ferry Lane
North Muskham
Newark
NG23 6HB
So far I have positive responses from :
Ian & Carol
Peter & Annie (dil-is-green)
Tom (toms2b)
Nigel & Helen (niduncan)
Sean & Cheryll (boost)
Peter & Anne (Pete Lee)
Mick & Stella (mowerman)
Steve & Tracy (hoppo)
Andrew & Gill (ozz) + Tabby (age 7)
Simon (simonp73)
Richard (streetsy) - provisional
Obviously very happy if anyone else would like to come along and join us. If so, could I ask that you let me know fairly quickly as I want to book us in soon with a rough idea of numbers to avoid losing the slot.
Cheers
