Warm Up Run - Saturday April 5th
This year, the Warm Up run is being organised by the Club secretary. Further details will be provided nearer the time but the provisional plan is to meet for breakfast, - probably at Castleton Farm Shop - followed by a short run to visit the Auto Loiunge.
Founded in April 2019 from a passion for cars, The Auto Lounge has grown into becoming the “Home of luxury and performance cars in Scotland!” Over the past five years they have supplied hundreds of the finest classic, sports and super cars to new and existing customer’s up and down the country and across the globe, to countries such as Cyprus, Malta, Singapore & New Zealand!
The visit will include tea / coffee and a tour of the facilities including the showroom and workshop.
The visit will be followed by a short road run to the lunch halt - possibly the Clatterin' Brig. All subject to confirmation!
Please let the secretary know if you are interested in joining us for this fascinating visit.

Once again, we will be joining Team MG Dennis at the SVVC Glamis Extravaganza which is scheduled for the weekend of 12th and 13th July 2025.
Please note that SVVC have changed the way the car clubs entry's are accepted next year so if you'd like to join us, then please advise the secretary ASAP, but NO LATER than the 10th of December 2024. Note that NO entries will be accepted after this date.
It is a condition of entry that you must be prepared to stay until 4pm on the Sunday, if you don't, you will jeopardize the participation of The club stand for 2026.
To give an indication last year it was £8 per car for the weekend which included 2 Adult passes: you don’t have to attend both days - the cost is the same whether you attend one day or two.
£20 per tent/caravan (you can arrive any time after 10.30 on Friday). If you’d like to arrive on Thursday there is an additional £15 charge.
Please note though that the costsmay increase this year.

DOUNE - Picnic in the Paddock - Sunday August 10th, 10:00 to 17:00List Item 2
Sadly, no Club has come forward to organise the Gathering of the Clans for 2025, and so Nigel MacMillan, secretary of the Stirling region, is putting together a 'picnic in the paddock' event at Doune.
This will be an informal get together with a £5 entry fee payable on arrival; this will cover the cost of the paddock hire and any surplus will be donated to the Eilidh Brown Memorial Fund.
There will be a raffle and entrants are encouraged to donate suitable prizes.
Please let the secretary know if you wish to attend.
