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 ?

Rally Events
I'm hoping to have my car finished in the next few months and I've always wanted to do a car rally - the sort of thing where you set off, try to find checkpoints until an end point.
I've seen the London to Brighton run which looks great although not keen on the £95 fee but I can't find any other, smaller events.
Does anyone know of a website that might list them or any other way of finding out about them?
South Yorkshire Meet January
January's meet is at:
Usual time of 7:30 on weds 4th
New Year --New Meets
Hi all, trust you are enjoying your Christmas/New Year Holidays & are busy when time allows preparing your cars for the coming 2017 trips.
To this end please post your ideas for our forth-coming trips/meetings.
What do the members want? Evening meets at local pub -- week-end meets for drink & a meal -- week-end meets which go to different attractions???
More ideas welcomed -- please voice your opinion on what YOU would like to do/where to go in 2017 ------------- it's just around the corner & will soon fly by if we don't plan ahead.
O.K so planning ahead is difficult -- but at least try -- you may be surprised at your inventiveness.
Just to add -- this post was primarily aimed at Hants & Dorset members for suggestions for our monthly meets, although all ideas welcomed as they may help your own area or blossom into a larger meet.
Time flies

Run Out Wednesday 28Th December
Anyone in the Midlands fancy a run out on Wednesday, destination tba depending on who wants to go but thinking of starting around 10AM and just having a leisurely drive out somewhere with a stop somewhere of lunch. and making a bit of a day of it.
Options could be head up to the Peak District or something more more Easterly is the Leics guys fancy it.
Kits optional, bring your tintop if you want.
N.e Meetings
Having been out of the loop for the past 3 months due to shift work, is there any meets planned for over the festive period, I hope so, if not:-
Seasons greetings to all
Members & Friends
Stay safe and have a
Happy, Healthy 2017

Drag Racing At Santa Pod
I've mentioned to a few people that I intend to do some visits to Santa Pod next year, and there have been some positive sounding replies from other people who might be interested. I've been looking at the Santa Pod website and they have various options we could look at, these include:
Single day events: These are 9:30am - 5pm, costs £10 entrance (under 16s are free for those wanting to bring kiddies along to watch) and then £25 sign on fee if you want to go drag racing.
Saturday night specials - These are 2 day events that have drag racing all day both days and go up to 8pm on the saturday night. You also get free camping thrown in for the saturday night. So people could do the whole weekend and camp or just do a single day. Cost wise its the same £10 entrance fee per day, but drag racing costs are slightly different. All day pass 9:30am-8pm is £30, 9:30 to 4:30 is £25 and 5pm-8pm is just £10.
On some dates they an also offer club bookings at no extra cost which gets us our own club area, a meeting room if we want it and reserved tables for lunch which we could look at if we get enough definite attendees.
So, whose up for it? Add your name to the list and once we have an idea of how many people are interested and whether the preference is a full weekend, single day etc I'll sort some dates.
