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 July
Sending this out a bit early as I would like to try the Baston Car Show this year (https://www.bastoncarshow.com/about, a few miles south of Bourne) and this takes place on Sunday 2nd July.
I need to know the level of interest in the next few days to see if we need to apply for a Group registration. If there are more than 5 cars coming I need to apply by 26th June. Otherwise we will just arrange to group up and arrive in formation.

We would like to invite you all to our GBS Weekend... Our Summer Open Day which is going to be held at the GBS factory.

We will also be celebrating 10 years of the GBS Zero sports car so it is extra special & we hope to get a car park full of Zero's. Then on the Sunday we will be at Rockingham for a Track Day with the Zero's. Please see the track day event for more details & to book your place.
We look forward to seeing you all over the weekend & hope you will be able to join us.
We will be holding a raffle on the day for a fantastic prize that has kindly donated by Rockingham that I’m sure you would all like to WIN! Which is a Family Ticket to the British Touring Car Championship (BTCC) that is held 26th & 27th August..... Good luck!

First Thursday of the month over the summer, rock up at Rockingham Speedway (bonus points for play on words), £2 per person, 1800-2000 hrs, park up, walk the line to view lots of other classics and modifieds, watch some drifting (various skills on display lol) and a good number of people racing the track...4 kits last Thursday + lots of saloons racing (you can pay extra to do this). Check out the Rockingham Speedway website for the full details of the event.
On the line was me with 'James the Kit' and a RAW.
A fun little evening for tiny £'s. Would be good if we could get a few RHoCAR's there, next event is 6th July.....please add you thoughts/comments etc

Lincolnshire Meet For June
It was looking quite good for June until I checked around this morning. We normally all get together at the Castle Bytham Midsummer Fair on Sunday June 18th, park up together on display and enjoy the village fair. But apparently it is now the Midsummer Festival and the new organisers have removed the 'Classic Car' banner from the web page (http://www.midsummerfair.co.uk/). I have contacted them to ask if this was intentional or are we are still welcome to attend. Watch this space.
Then I checked our regular hangout at 'GearHeads at the Ground' in Newark, only to find the June meet has been cancelled.
So that just leaves the GBS Open Day on Sat 10th June (http://www.greatbritishsportscars.co.uk/events-2/), which I will probably attend.
I'm off on holiday again next week (I know, it's a hard life but someone has to do it) so when I get back I should know about Castle Bytham. If they don't want us I will organise something else.
