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 ?

Hampshire / Dorset area meet up (Sept?)
Hello guys and gals,
I see most of the meets on here seem to be hours north of me who is stuck here on the south coast. I was wondering if any members were based near me, I am between Bournemouth and Southampton....
Anyway, reason for posting is hoping to get a few fellow RH or kit owners together for a run around the New forest and maybe take in Zig Zag Hill in the process. I may even be tempted to drag the drone and cameras out and make a short little video of the outing if people are happy to do a few drive bye for the drone and so forth.
Let me know if your local and if you would be up for a run around. I can draw up a route on TomTom Drive once I know where people are based and go from there...

Potential Essex Monthly Meet.
I've been asked about a potential monthly meet in Essex. We have a few members down that way and there may also be some community users as well.
Interested? - post potential venues and times for consideration.
In Essex but not interested? - let us know why, we welcome any feedback on getting new meets started and the obstacles that we face doing it.
It may be worth starting with something at an existing event or attraction so there's something there for people to see.
If anyone fancies stepping forward as an Area Secretary (either here or indeed any other vacant area of the country) we'd like to hear from you. Benefits are pretty much limited to free membership and occasional feint praise from members. granted it's no real incentive but you might get the occasional warm glow inside that makes it all worthwhile.
