Apart from our Sprints, for which you need a competition licence, our events are open to all members. Some of the more popular ones can get oversubscribed, so if you are interested phone the contact and register your interest ASAP.
Midland Centre members are usually involved in the club’s participation at the
Classic Car shows locally at the NEC and NAC, and also organize the camping at
the annual Silverstone weekend. You are welcome to join in or at least come
along and say hello and introduce yourself; we like to get to know our members
and maintain the club’s reputation as “The Marque of Friendship”.
