UPCOMING EVENTS
From our Events Organisers
April 2025
And, we’re OFF !!!! Yes, the first Events of 2025 take place this month so here’s looking forward to warmer weather, shiny paintwork and of course sparkling chrome. So without further ado, let’s take a look at what’s coming up:
April 13th – Guildford Lions Classic Car Display. At the time of writing, it would appear that there are still spaces left so if you haven’t registered (and you want to), you may be lucky!
April 21st – The London Harness Horse Parade held on Easter Monday. Entries should have been received by 1st March so it is unlikely that you will be able to register now, but have fun if you are going along.
April 27th – Drive Your Classic Car Day. This year we are returning to The Mill at Elstead. We need to know final numbers by 15th April, so please contact Phil or Jeannie if you are planning to attend. Menus will be available shortly together with further details as to booking your meals etc. An ‘Information Sheet’ is available online with further details.
Looking forward into May, we have three events that might be of interest:
May 3rd and 4th – Magnificent Motors in Eastbourne. Sadly, there is a waiting list for all classes of vehicle on May 4th, and unless you are going to show an ‘All Electric or Hybrid car’ on May 3rd (and I doubt that I will see many hands being raised here) you will have to join a waiting list for that day too.
May 25th – Haslemere Classic Car Show. This show is now full so unless you have already registered, sadly you will not now be able to.
May 31st – Danefold Market Classic Car Day. Entry tickets have already been sent out by the organisers, but if you have not are yet received yours, you might want to contact the organisers at: sarahgook@icloud.com
We will keep you updated with events as they unfold, so please stay tuned, but in the meantime:
Whilst the origins of April Fools' Day is unknown, it is believed to have been inspired by Geoffrey Chaucer's "Nun's Priest's Tale" in the Canterbury Tales. April’s flowers are the Sweet Pea and Daisy; so pretty cheap to buy. However, April’s birthstone is diamond so if you have a birthday in April, ask for the birthstone as a gift.
And finally, it’s not too late to send back you completed ‘Events Calendars’ (or simply email us with the events that you plan to attend) – this information is really important to us to liaise with event organisers.
See you all on the 11th for Club Night.
Jeannie & Phil
