4th June "" Freeland Diamond Jubilee fun day.
A fun event for all the family. There will be a fancy dress parade, children's races, a penalty shoot out, dog parade and a static display of classic cars and motorcycles.

10th June "" Churchill Car Show
This is a bi-annual event, held on the village green. Apart from around five hundred cars on show there are entertainments, music, stalls, sideshows and a variety of refreshments. It is massively popular, attracting visitors from miles around - a splendid day out for families as well as car enthusiasts. Although entries are closed a few R31 members will be there and it is worth coming along.

17th June "" Wings and wheels with the Vulcan at Wellesbourne.
Classic Cars & Military Vehicles, Vulcan taxi runs, Pleasure Flights & Static Aircraft
Refreshments and Ground Displays. There will also be the Avro Anson taking off, possibly a fly over by a Gloucester Meteor, a Vampire or Venom and a Dragon Rapide for public pleasure flights (all subject to serviceability and the weather).

5th July "" Witney Motor Show.
A Thursday evening Motor show run by enthusiasts for enthusiasts. Local dealers show their range of new cars, many local car clubs hold their club night, plus bikes and also lots of individuals just turn up to show their pride and joy. No regimented parking just turn up chat and have fun.

14th July "" R31 lunch at the Feathered Nest at Nether Westcote.
Come and join us at the feathered nest for lunch. Just an informal gathering for Saturday lunch.

27th August "" Super Car picnic and Oxfordshire classic car show.
The Oxfordshire Classic Car Show is an unrivaled classic car display set in the absolutely stunning grounds of Blenheim Palace. There will be 100's of classics on display which include makes and models from the pre 1950's to modern day classics. There will also be trade and auto jumble stalls and live expert commentary.

2nd September "" Fly to the Past. Oxford airport.
Fly to the Past is a unique history of flight show presenting a 'Movie in the Sky', with an extensive vintage shopping village, classic vehicle exhibitors, and a Saturday evening concert with music from 40s, 50s and 60s, re-enactors and vintage entertainment.

15th September "" R31 spin out day and lunch.
A chance to put your car on Pitstop's rolling road at Brize Norton to find out how many horses are still under the bonnet. After this we will drive to Foxbury farm where they offer quality food made with meat reared on their farm, vegetables and fruit grown locally, fresh herbs from the Foxbury Garden and local products, all of which can be found and purchased in the farm shop.

For any further information contact either Derek or Myself (jamesdbrickell@aol.com)
 
Thanks for posting that James.

Can I just add that any Club member can attend any of our events and some of them promise to be superb. However, if an event is subjected to limited numbers then of course priority goes to the Region.

As soon as I get a specific date for the Ferrari event I'll publish it. It promises to be excellent, totally free, great food & drink and a celebrity to open what will be the finest Ferrari dealership in the world.

As for lunch at the Feathered Nest, this is close to Club HQ and apart from serving fantastic food, enjoys excellent views across the Cotswolds. Of course the parking is most secure.

Turning to the Wings & Wheels Day, that too should be brilliant; already we have much interest and members are bringing in three aeroplanes. If you want to crawl all over my 'toy' and observe the Star Wars Sat Nav, come along.

Now that the Bollotics is over, 2012 promises to be a great year for PCGB.
 
1st July "" Champagne classic at Kingham

Champagne Classic is a garden party with classic cars, period dress (for those so inclined), Champagne reception, jazz, cabaret and auction of promises. Bring a picnic or buy from the barbeque. The admission charge (£10/head) includes your first glass of Champagne (two glasses each or a bottle between four if you pre-book and dress in period). The event is sponsored by Laurent-Perrier and will benefit the Helen and Douglas House hospices and other charities.
I have just recieved an email from the organiser who will relax the pre 1973 cut off for our cars to allow us to attend.

As with all of our events let me know if you wish to attend so I can send entry forms and advise organisers of group bookings.

 
Unfortunately Foxbury farm will not be available for lunch. I know this will be dissapointing for those wishing to see the Carterton cart horses, but I am hopeing to organise something with a local pub on the Thames instead.
