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 ?

Hants & Dorset Monthly Meet April
Hi all, this months meet was a poor turn-out due in the main to the heavy showers I suppose.
NEXT month it is proposed that we meet on the week-end of 8/9th April at a pub in the area of Basingstoke.
Please pen your thoughts, which day -- is this area suitable/convenient for you -- what would you like arranged -- visit somewhere/meet & drive before/after lunch.
One suggestion so far ( & the only one ) is to centre the meet on POPHAM AIRFIELD , as always it's you that make the club, so please offer your views.

Lincolnshire Meet For February
Sorry it's been quiet for the last few weeks but I was in hospital having an operation. Almost back to normal now, certainly well enough to drive the Superspec. Looking at the weather, this Sunday (26th) is not looking too bad so if the rain holds off I think I will potter along and take a picnic lunch to the Newark Autojumble Show - http://www.newarkautojumble.co.uk (Does what it says on the tin, lots of stalls, both amateur and professional, for car-related 'bits')
For those not familiar with this monthly event, it is held at the Newark Showground (NG24 2NY). Entrance fee is £7/head (Under 12s free) and £5 if you come in a kit car (+£7 for a passenger) So it's cheaper than a pub lunch
There are 2 entrances, one for tintops and one for classic/unusual/kit cars. They are shown on the attached map (From past experience, if it is busy it is quicker and easier to come in from the South to the East of the Showground rather than the via the A46 even if you are in a tintop)
I'll probably aim to get there about 11:00 if anyone fancies a day out. I'll make a final decision on Saturday and post it here.
