Roger has reserved spaces for the Club and has a small number of windscreen tags (you get a little plaque!). Tags are limited, so please don't ask for one if you might not be able to turn up. Entrance is free (and you don't need a tag to be there!). Contact Roger for details.

To read all about the event, go to: www.motoringandleisure.uk.com/brandshatch.html.
Saturday 29th/Sunday 30th May - Sunday Times Motor Show Live, Classic Car Tour.
This is a tour, not a competitive event, so no special car preparation is required. The tour forms part of the drive to make this year's show increasingly interactive, with participants completing a 150 miles route from one of five starting points in Cheshire, Derbyshire, Essex, Warwickshire and Wiltshire. Included in the entry fee is an overnight stay and breakfast in a 4* hotel in Birmingham and admission to the Motor Show Live, plus tickets to the Live Action arena on Sunday 30th May. The starting point is free and the tour is open to all cars, with preference being given to pre-1978 cars - the first year the NEC hosted the Motor Show.
Entry Fee: £85 per person (£150 per crew of two). Roger has a number of entry forms for those interested. Check the details at: www.ClassicRally.org.uk.
Sunday 30th May 2004 - An Introduction to Sprinting at Curborough.
Just off the A38, between Burton-on-Trent and Lichfield, Staffordshire. This event is aimed at anyone who has NEVER sprinted before, but has an interest in becoming involved. Visitors will be guided through all aspects of a Sprint, including walking the course, paperwork, safety, car preparation etc. They will then have the opportunity of driving the course in their own ROAD CAR (must be ROAD LEGAL in all respects) with an "Instructor" alongside.
This event begins at 10am and will run until just after lunch. Refreshments will be available.
There is no booking involved, just turn up. It's subject to demand, so there may be a small wait. Details at: www.curborough.co.uk

Friday to Sunday 25th to 27th June 2004 - Festival of Speed, Goodwood, West Sussex.
The Festival of Speed is far more than just a hill-climb. It can justifiably claim to be the world's biggest and most diverse celebration of the history of motor sport. It is the only occasion where you will see in action the greatest competition cars and star drivers from all eras. But it is not all about action on the hill. Unrestricted access to the paddocks means that spectators and autograph hunters can get closer to the cars and drivers than at almost any other meeting.
We cannot go as a club group, so entry is by individual attendance. ADVANCE ticket purchase only - no sales at the gate. See details at: www.goodwood.co.uk
Friday, Saturday, Sunday, Weekend
Admission only £15, £30, £40, £70

The Motoring Pageant will be open from 10am-5pm. Entrance fee: £1.50 per car. Entry form from Roger.
Further information and directions www.transtarpromotions.co.uk or call 01922 643385. Other enquiries: The Hop Farm 01622 872068.

Another event with an eclectic mix of cars old and new plus lots of other vehicles, stands etc.

Entry form from Roger. Free entrance.
Saturday 11th September 2004 - Classic & Sportcar Action Day, Castle Coombe Cct, Chippenham, Wiltshire.
Sadly, circuit drives are no longer free. However, it's not too expensive to book a drive and the event is always excellent. It's a great day out and still one of the most cost-effective ways of driving on a race circuit (bring a spare set of tyres!). Add in club displays, trade stands, autojumble and time to talk to fellow enthusiasts and you have the essence of what makes a Castle Coombe Action Day a special event.
Entry fee: £15/car for club members. £30/car on the day. Entry form from Roger.
Sunday 19th September 2004 - Return to Shakespeare Country.
This is a repeat of an excellent drive through Shakespeare Country, organised for the club by John and Sue Ross. The route and arrangements will again be organised by John and Sue, who did such a great job last year. Contact John for more details at: jross@iee.org
