Description: Once
every month the Club meets at Overstone Manor Pub on the outskirts of Overstone
(map). This, for those of you who
are not already familiar with the venue, is situated about half way down Ecton
Lane which is between Ecton & Sywell. Club Night is always the Second Wednesday of every month.
On certain Club Nights we will organize some sort of event i.e. a visit
from a supplier, a photo competition, An Auto Jumble, or a video.
Other Club Nights we just get together and socialise.
Caravanning
and Camping weekends are normally arranged to coincide with the main Bank
Holidays, but on request may be organised at other times if there is sufficient
demand. The Club normally travels
to another Club's venue for these weekends and it gives us all a chance to
socialise, whilst experiencing other venues that we would not normally visit and
make new friends into the bargain.
Annually
a group of members always visit the A.R.C. International rally, which is usually
hosted by one of the larger Clubs within the A.R.C.
The venue is different every year as is the host club. There is something
here for everyone, competitions for those of you who like to compete, concourse
awards for those of you who prefer to show your vehicles, children's events,
even a dog show, so don't be put off attending just because you don't like
competition. There is always a good social side to this event with a beer tent,
usually some form of live entertainment and even a church service on the Sunday.
Camping and caravanning can be pre booked, anyone interested please contact me.
The
Club will also usually sponsor teams in another two annual inter club events.
Firstly the Peak and Dukeries Club
inter club challenge at Eckington and secondly the Majors
Memorial Trophy at Eastnor castle. Once
again these are two very good events both for competitors and spectators alike
and we always have a good social gathering to compliment these events to which
all Club members are welcome.
At
least once a year we try to arrange a family fun day or
weekend. Fun is the main
objective. As a family Club, we try
wherever possible to encourage family participation in the Club's activities.
Other annual events include a bonfire and fireworks display in November
and every December Club night, we hold our annual Christmas Dinner and prize
giving ceremony.
Another
popular annual event is the visit to Billing for the Land Rover show. Without
doubt there is something here for everyone, arena demonstrations, static
displays, club stands, beer tents and probably the largest auto jumble since Old
Sodbury. Every year the Club
organises it's own camping area within the Aquadrome and it has always proved to
be a very enjoyable weekend. Anyone
who wants to attend will also benefit from the discount that our club can offer
visitors to this event. |
