Midland Centre members are usually involved in the club’s participation at the
Classic Car shows locally at the NEC and NAC, and also organise 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”.
