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 ?

Lincolnshire Meet for February
Hope everyone (and their cars) survived the storms. I lost about 1/3rd of my back garden fence but the parts blown down were rotten anyway and needed replacing. Overall the February weather been too bad to do much so far but next week is looking reasonable. The 'retiree' chapter of the Lincolnshire owners (and honorary Lincolnshire owners) will be meeting up for lunch at New Lodge Farm, near Corby (NN17 3DU https://www.newlodgefarm.co.uk) at 12:00 on Wednesday 23rd. Some of you will know it as the midpoint break on the Stilton Cheese Run.
Any other retirees or self employed or unemployed.... are welcome to join us, and my offer to organise a weekend event for the 'real workers' among you still stands
North East Area Monthly Meeting
On Wednesday 23rd of Feb. at the Church Mouse, Chester Moor, Chester-le-Street DH23RJ from 7-30pm, providing of course that we haven't all been blown into the North Sea or under three foot of snow. Looking forward to seeing everyone.
Leicestershire area meeting 16/3/2022
There is no meeting in February. The next meeting will be March 16th at The Gate Hangs Well from 7.30 pm
New and old face are welcome to come and join in.
Warks / Worcs / West Mids Monthly Meet 23rd February 2022
I was going to reschedule our post Christmas meal for this month but I'm not still confident that the venue can cope with 30+ of us turning up at the same time and eating so February's meet will just be a normal one (drinks and banter). That said, food is still available if people want to make their own booking for a smaller group.
Meet 7PM onwards, Malt Shovel Pub, Coventry Road, Nr Stonebridge, Coventry, CV7 7HL
Entrance to the pub car park is off the A452 Chester Road heading North 50 yards from the island.
Surrey and surrounding areas
To anyone in Surrey and surrounding counties, I would like to start up a WhatsApp/SMS group for anyone interested in an occasional run out.
I normally go for a short blast most weekends (I'm based in Reigate, Surrey) and it would be nice to meet up or tag along in convoy with anyone who is free.
I'm not much of a planner - if the weather is looking to be reasonable a couple of days before and I've got free time, I'll just head off in a vague direction, usually via a cafe of some sort (my current favourite is the Chalet). I am not a very early riser, normally heading out between 8 - 9am, back by 11-12.
If this sounds like you, please PM or email (magazine@rhocar.org) your mobile number and I'll add you to the group (please specify if you prefer text or WhatsApp). I'll send out messages on WhatsApp/text if I'm going out - there is no pressure to join me, feel free to ignore them completely
I might put posts up on here but I often make the decision on Saturday to go on Sunday and I realise most people don't look at the forum that often.
Hope to see some of you in the future...
(PS: just snapped my throttle cable yesterday, so won't be out for a couple of weeks anyway).

Lincolnshire Meets for January
Like a few of us I haven't SORNed my car for this winter and it looks like the next couple of weeks are the reason, as the weather looks nice and settled. Thinking of doing our usual run out and picnic lunch next Tuesday/Wednesday (25th/26th). No destination yet, depends on where people are coming from, but we tend to go somewhere with in 50 miles of Stamford at the moment. Anyone wants to join us, even in a tintop , let me know.
