Skoda Owners Club GB

To Skoda Owners Club GB. This website has been in this format since mid February 2008.

The site gives members and prospective members plenty of information about what the club is doing this year.

I would like the site to be simple to use, hence all information and contacts are on this one page. If you have a bit of time to browse, then check out the green hyperlinks above.

There's much more information about "what we do", in the quarterly 24 page full colour club Magazine, available by joining the club.

Any comments or suggestions (to do with site), please contact me at address, top right of page, enjoy - OZ

On site there were 30 Club stands and at the end of the day thousands of spectators gathered to welcome the cavalcade back to the park.

East European Car Day at Foxfield Railway - At this event we join up with other East European car clubs. Camping is available on Saturday night, a bonus for those who may wish to take advantage of the real ale bar. There are free train rides for participants.

Rallyday Event - There are still a couple of spaces left on the club stand. You will now have to contact Steve for him to reserve you a space, then book via the event organiser.

Classic Car Show at N.E.C - Now confirmed, we have a 12 by 15 metre pitch in Hall 2, but both displays will be sharing this space. This is a larger area than last year, but it is planned that not so many cars will be displayed. See column on right for contact details.
