Hi Simon,
Welcome and good choice!:thumbsup:
What Francis says...Wessex, Cotswold and the Welsh contingent are all very active.
and...there is an informal meet at Haynes Museum last Sunday of each Month; next 29th August. This is kind of split between the local FOC group (Wessex) and Drivers Union (
https://thedriversunion.com/). Even if you aren't a member feel free to come along and see what we are all up to and hopefully join some clubs.:thumbsup: We generally meet for around 9-9:30 for bacon butties. I think this coming one FOC are organising a little drive out after, but not sure.
There is a Ferrari/TVR event up at Prescott Hill Climb 21st August.
https://www.prescotthillclimb.co.uk/event-details/car-club-day-ferrari-tvr Cotswold FOC will be there; come along and meet them, Rob who runs this group will be there.
Also up this way is the Broadway car show this coming weekend. All the formal spaces are long gone via various car clubs, but you can access as "Joe public". Good place to meet car club members and see what they are all about.
Lots happening in and around Bristol way via other clubs as well, such as
https://www.sccprivatemembers.com. More than happy to introduce you to Brad and Rachel who run it.
I think you will find once you get into a few clubs there is a huge amount going on; this year has been particularly busy with at least one event every weekend within sensible reach, so no excuse not to put miles on the car.
