Note!
Please advise as soon as possible if you propose to attend a social evening.
I can then go firm on my provisional booking.

The Mendip Vintage and Classic tour is for cars older than 30 years of age. It starts in Somerset and finishes on Cathedral Green, in front of the Wells Cathedral. There is a significant charge about £40 per vehicle.
If you are proposing to attend another regional event, please let the area co-ordinator know, as it will be a good opportunity to meet and socialise with other PCC members.
At many events, apart from classic cars, there is not always sufficient to keep the ladies interested. This can depend on location or other factors.
For instance the Gloucester Classic and Retro Festival not only has the cars in the Quays, but has many shops and interesting places to eat. Market Lavingdon has classic vehicles, entertainment, music, craft stalls and sufficient places to eat and drink. I have tried to identify in bold type the events considered to be of most interest to the ladies.

Note!
Please advise as soon as possible if you propose to attend a social evening so that I can go firm on my provisional booking.
There will sometimes be a charge for charity for events and may require the booking of your car in advance. Usually information on an event and car booking can be made on-line.
The Mendip Vintage and Classic tour is all for charity. The tour is for cars older than 1989. It starts in Somerset and finishes outside Wells Cathedral. There is a significant charge about £40 per vehicle.
If PCC members are proposing to attend one of the above events; please advise, as we can meet and attend as a group. Also if you are proposing to attend an event from another regional area please let the area co-ordinator know which will be a good opportunity to meet and socialise with other PCC members.

Providing I have sufficient interest from PCC members. I intend to look at the feasibility of a couple of daytime runs for our Panthers in Somerset. This will be followed by a lunchtime meal hopefully on a Sunday. However, much will depend on a venue which will have a good car park and be able to cater for us. Also I would need to know the number of people who would be interested in attending.
