Branch Events are in blue. These are events where there should be a good representation from the Branch, there may be dedicated Branch parking and there may be an organised convoy into the event. We aim for there to be at least one Branch Event every month of the year.

July
Sat 11 to Sat 18 July: MOSH (formerly known as MOT-UK) 2026 in Somerset. This year Minors on Summer Holiday is reasonably local to us so we are hoping to make it a Branch event if there is sufficient interest. Please contact Pam for contact details etc.
Mon 20 to Fri 24 July: Road Trip to Matthewson's Auction. Paul Kimmens has proposed a road trip to visit Matthewson's Auctioneers on a viewing day (day prior to the actual online auction). The trip up and back again will include a number of interesting lunch stops and visits. The proposed itinerary can be viewed here. Overnight accommodation stops are suggested. This is not an organised trip, people who would like to join Paul for all, or part, of the trip would have to make their own bookings for hotels etc. Likewise there is a suggested route which people can follow or they can follow their own preferred route. It should be a fabulous road trip with the comfort and support of being part of a group. Please contact Paul if you would like to join or just get more details.
