Representing the Club

If you want the MK1 Club at an event, or you wish to run a MK1 event, then please contact me first at the earliest opportunity

As the quarterly club magazine can only keep you up to date with events planned well in advance, you are encouraged to check the club website events calendar and the IMOC events page postings for up to date event information and last minute changes.
Our close affiliation with IMOC will seee that, along with our club policy of inviting any MK1 to attend our events, some events will see the invitation extended to other MR2 marks where appropriate. However club 'show' stands will still remain true to type and exclusive to MK1, where they will still remain the stars of the show.
The main types of events the club aims to attend include:
Classic and Sports car shows
Jap car shows
Regional 'Runs'
Track days
Regional MK1 monthly meets
Other car meets eg classic, sports, jap
Annulal drag strip days
Annual rolling road days
Le Mans annual pilgrimmage
MR2 Challenge motorsport

If there are any other events you think would be good for the club to attend, then do not hesitate to contact me with the details.
