Over the years I have started two car clubs. Both were for classic sports cars, with one being in Cambridgeshire and one in Hertfordshire.
Both were successful and thrived.
Nowadays car clubs seem to be going into decline insofar as my experience is concerned. Certainly my efforts to start another classic sports car club in the Bedfordshire, Buckinghamshire and Northamptonshire have come to nothing. People seem to prefer just taking their car to a “meet” where they pay a few quid into a charity bucket, park up and then wander around looking at the cars there and then drive off, often without saying a word to anyone else. Why is this ? It’s much nicer to have a little club, say with forty or fifty members and a regular monthly meeting.
