A Gathering of Club Enthusiasts
An event where club members can come to the Centre and attend talks, workshops and seminars to learn more about how to run clubs based on the topic 'Survival'.
The Heritage Motor Centre is the perfect place for clubs to visit and traders to exhibit. This is why Club Expo was created, it allows clubs and suppliers to network. Clubs can gain more information through talks and workshops, and suppliers can make clubs aware of their products.
We are very proud of our conference rooms and facilities and feel they are the ideal place for clubs to hold AGMs and committee meetings, as the museum is located in the heart of the country with easy access from the M40.
Club Expo is a free event for up to two members of each club and includes entrance to the museum, Club Expo, lunch and guided tours of the meeting rooms and facilities.
