Home Counties Activities in July and August

Is the summer here yet? Well this weekend sees the Silverstone Classic, where the Midget and Sprite Club have a club display for all three days, and the Chiltern Open Air Museum Classic Car weekend; these normally happen in the summer!

Various members from the HCNW will be at Silverstone on Saturday and Sunday and on Sunday there will be members at the Chiltern Open Air Museum, alongside members from the Hampshire Chapter. The weather forecast is good for a change, so we may get a weekend of top down Spridget driving weather!


Now if you can not make these events (or even if you can!) the next road run event is being organised by Keith and Ann and will take place on Sunday 5th August. Starting at the Chequers in Redbourn at 10am, with a meeting point on the A5,  the run will take us to the Glenn Miller Museum and the Twinwood Aviation museum in Bedford.

The Glenn Miller Museum is open from 10.00 am to 4.00 pm and the admission charge is £4.00.  Admission to the Twinwood Aviation Museum, which is on the same site, is included in the price and they will stay open until 5.00 pm if visitors are still on site.

No hot food is served but you are able to purchase hot drinks.  Meal options are therefore either to bring a picnic or have lunch in one of the pubs in Clapham Village – food served from 12.00-3.00pm at the Horse & Groom in the High Street.  The Fox & Hounds also serves food but this is a “sports” pub and might prove more noisy – the choice is yours!
Please get in contact with me or Keith if you fancy coming along.
