Hello all!Please read the below as some bits have changed from last year!
Very happy to be able to give you the date for 2026 meet at the British Motor Museum at Gaydon! Last year’s meet was a great success and we’d love to have an even better turnout for this one. There will be a couple of other clubs there too, so it would be good to give them all a run for their money on numbers!
The date, as above, is Saturday May 9th from 10am :)
As last year, we've been advised that your ticket into the Museum will also get you access to the Slot Car Exhibition which is happening on the same day. Info from last year is at https://www.britishmotormuseum.co.uk/news/discover-the-world-of-slot-cars-at-the-uk-slot-car-festival
The website is https://www.britishmotormuseum.co.uk/. The Museum will be open, so there'll be lots of new stuff to see, and there's also a Collections Centre with free tours available for Museum visitors which can be booked on the day (subject to availability). Cost is £14 per adult on the day, and please mention that you're with the smart cars on the desk. Yes, you will have to admit you're with us. Read the small print* :)
There may be an attempt at putting Roadies / 450s / 451s / 453s / 454s / etc together (although this may well not happen given that it's not just us there this time!) which will probably turn into a freeforall when we all get distracted chatting with people but the thought will be there :D
It's always a really good and reasonably-priced day out for a general pow-wow, get-together, and/or wander round a heritage museum, depending on your preferences.
So! If anyone's interesting in tootling on over to the Leamington area on Saturday 9th May for the day please feel free to put your name down here or message me offline for more details (though at this stage there really aren't any!). Some people might make a bit of a weekend of it - dunno Just to be clear though, it's just a "rock up to an interesting museum with built in meet to have a chat and a cuppa and maybe a picnic but otherwise entertain / organise yourselves" kind-of-day/weekend, so there's not currently anything "organised" as such.***
If you're looking for a cheap and cheerful hotel, the Days Inn on the M40 northbound does the job.****
Would be great to get a load of people out in what will, of course, be a gloriously sunny and warm late Spring Saturday**!
Hope to see loads of you there!
* There is no small print.***
** As per the disclaimer from the last few years, it will probably pour with rain, with howling gales, be freezing cold and be more like Autumn, so bring brollies, wind breaks and suchlike. Also suncream. And hats.
*** The organisers accept no responsibility for anything. Ever. We're not even really organisers. It's a reference point for people to park somewhere at a certain time. So there.
****It was fine when we were there a few years back.
