Drives
As well as monthly meetings we arrange regular drives and events. As you will appreciate, the winter months do not lend themselves to open air driving, so January and December tend to get a miss. There is usually a break for the main holiday month of August.
Drives are normally held on the Sunday seventeen days following the monthly meeting.
Some ideas for future drives and events...
- Le Beaujolais Nouveau est arrivée - the Beaujolais Nouveau run - France, released for general sale on the third Thursday each November. Some 1320 miles there and back! www.beaujolais.net or www.nickdobsonwines.co.uk
- Dyno day - see how powerful your car really is
- Karting - park up the '5 and try something smaller
- Navigational test - tulip diagrams galore!
- Shakespeare County Raceway "Run What You've Brung" day (see the Other Events page)
- Shiniest car competition
- Skid pan - take it to the limits
- Technical day or evening - learn how that thing under the bonnet really works
- Teddy bears' picnic
