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 Meets For August
Two firm opportunities for meeting up this month (although stand by for a late call for the Muskham Ferry if the weather is nice on the 14th )
1. 'Gearheads at the Grounds' (formally 'HorsePower at the Hall') Newark Showground, Sunday 21 August 1300-1700. A very informal gathering with some very interesting cars. Can I have names for those who want too attend and whether they would be interested in a pub lunch before the event. So far I have:
1. Me
2.
3.
2. The Stamford Car Show, Sunday 28 Aug 10:00-17:00 (although slightly late arrivals and early departures are not a problem) Some of you will have already registered for this event. For those that haven't but would like to go, see http://www.rhocar.org/index.php?showtopic=44510&hl= and request your name is added to the Standby list in the event that any of the registered people can't go.
Cheers

South Yorkshire Meet August - Continuing At New Venue
Stamford Car Show 2016
It's that time of year again. Stamford Car Show on Sunday 28 August 10:00 onwards
Those of you that have registered should be receiving your joining instructions any time now, mine arrived this morning. It looks as though 12 of us have registered, and as such we have again been allocated a Club Stand. Same as last year, backing onto the river just by the entrance.
As such there is no need to arrange an RV, you can arrive anytime you like. Just ignore the marshalls and turn hard left as you arrive on the field. I suggest we do the same as last year and have 2 rows of 6 cars. I will try and get there early an guard the spot. This year I have 2 Club banners so will use those to show our area.
Can you let me know who is going ? And if anyone has booked and is not going then please let me know ASAP so we can reallocate your booking reference. And we can run a Standby list for those who would like to go and haven't booked.
So far I have :
1. Me
2. Nigel & Helen
3. Mick & Stella
4. Paul & Sheena
5. Pete Lee
6. Richard
7. Dave
8. Andy

Visit To Headway Nottingham
Hello all,
Wonder if any one local to Nottingham may be interested in this.
Swan Jnr organised it last year as his wife did volunteer work for them.
Details below
Headway the Brain Injuries charities deal with people with all sorts of acquired head injuries whether it is stroke, tumour, or as a result of traumatic brain injury car/bike accidents etc.
The majority of the service users are male, (over 75%) and ironically many of them still love the cars and bikes that led to their injuries.
Last year we took along 7 or 8 kit cars for the service users to have a look at and they had a great time, as too did the people that took the cars along. it was a genuinely lovely afternoon and a really good way to use our cars to do something to make someone else smile.
we are running it again this year on the 4th of August from 1pm. If any of you are local it would be lovely to see you.
I will be going in the GTM and swan jnr will be going in his V8 locost + 2 or 3 from locost builders site.
Regards
Swan
Coventry Wings And Wheels Sunday 24Th July
I know this is in the club calendar but just to let everyone know that they have cancelled this event for unknown reasons.
Just thought I'd let people know in case they were going to attend
Mid Wales Camping Weekend
I have proposed an autumn camping weekend in West Wales starting Friday evening for early starters 30th September and through the weekend of the 1st and 2nd October. The membership of RHOcar appear to have become overwhelmed with indifference to my suggestion of camping in the cold, liking it to a blast down the motorway with the roof off.
Never being one to be put off I now propose that a change of date to 5th 6th and 7th May next Spring 2017.
When the weather is warmer.
Some thing along the lines of fish and chip supper Friday A road run out into the Cambrian mountains on the Saturday with a barbque in the evening with an open gate event on the Sunday with invitations sent out to local car clubs to come and visit.
Any takers
Ripon Old Cars
Ripon racecourse on 24th July
section for kitcars
auto jumble, food etc
Plenty of cars, trucks, motorbikes etc to look at.
Search riponoldcars for details
