Dear all,

I hope those of you who were at the 24hr got home safely and, the obvious aside, enjoyed the event.

Many congratulations to Tete Rouge and Bully too.

On which note, that brings me neatly on to our Dinner Dance and Awards.

Please find the invitation above together with the booking link.

It would be of huge help to me if you are able to book early this year. I'll always try my best to accommodate late comers but I do have quite a bit of pressure on my time this autumn so I can't promise miracles!

So, a bit earlier than usual, but given we are approaching the season finale, it's time to think about the end-of-season celebrations (or commiserations as appropriate). Whichever, good company, food and a few beers will likely help.

The Dinner Dance and Awards ceremony will be at Westmead once again this year on 21 November 2026.

Invites will be emailed out to all current club members. However, for those of you who aren't members, here are the details:


You are invited to the Classic 2CV Racing Club Dinner/Dance and Awards evening on Saturday 21st November 2026! This is to be held as usual at Westmead Hotel, Redditch Road, Hopwood, Birmingham, B48 7AL.

Start time: 18:30
Dinner to be served at: 19:00

The cost of this event is £51 per person which includes a three course meal (with vegetarian/gluten free options available) and a disco. This must be paid for in advance of the event, by Friday 16th October at the latest but, please could I ask for your bookings by 25th September to give me a chance to make the arrangements etc..

Accommodation is available at the venue. The hotel have given us a discount code which can be used when booking: BK156702. Double, twin and single rooms are available. You can only use this code by calling the hotel directly to book the room – 0121 445 1202.

A full English breakfast is included in the price of the room.

Please remember to book your room in advance to avoid disappointment! 20 rooms are currently being held for us but some will go on general release mid-October.

Ham hock terrine, piccalilli, toasted sourdough

Whilst you can email me, filling in the form is a massive labour saver for me so if you can, please do. 

Payments for this event must be made to the 2CV Racing Club via bank transfer and must be received by Friday 16th October at the latest.

We hope to see you there!

That would be "The Inbetweeners" but that would also make us vulnerable to being "Racing W.........s"

I'm just popping by this thread to say a big thank you those involved in organising this weekend. The transition to BRSCC seems to have gone well but, it shouldn't escape us just how much work it inevitably takes behind the scenes. So, a big thank you. Hope to see you all again soon 🤗

More bits and bobs.

The Race committee proposals are probably the most relevant to us - penalty points and totting.

Dear all,

Once again, many thanks to those who have paid. However, we are still over 20 payments short.

The hotel needs to be paid next week and I am going to be in a position of not being able to and/or taking people off the list.

Please, if you have not paid, can you do so by Monday 4pm?

If you are a driver and there are non-club members on your table, could you please help by chasing them up for me?

I'll send further email reminders tonight but there's only so much I can do.

Thanks all and looking forward to seeing you there.

Dear all,

There are a few payments outstanding; I will drop an email to those people later this week to chase things up.

However, if anyone can identify the payment reference 1HRIG N TPM please tell us!

Thanks to all those who have booked in after the weekend.

I am treating the numbers as final now so the hotel can press on with arrangements.

Dear Pete,

I'm so sorry. Whilst words matter, I'm conscious that there is little that I can say either. I hope tomorrow goes as well as these things ever can. I shall keep you all in my thoughts.

Thank you to all of those who have booked/given me menu choices/paid so far.

Just another reminder - applications/payments due by THIS FRIDAY.

After that, I'll do my best but no guarantees I'm afraid.

Hope to see you there. 😊

Just a gentle reminder all 😊

The link should be fixed. The audience is now anyone with the link, rather than restricted in any way. Sorry folks. Let me know if there is still an issue 😊

Thanks Matt. It obviously opened for me....  Sorry to anyone who was super efficient and wanted to fill it in!

I've edited the post above with what I hope is the right one.
