New venue for SCH 2017
Discussion
Hi there all you lovely S-Clubbers 
Alan461, the mastermind behind the last two highly successful SCH gatherings, is not one to rest on his laurels. No siree.
He has arranged a new venue for us next year at Uxbridge, in conjunction with the Uxbridge Rotary Club Annual Auto Show and family fun day, to be held on Sunday 16th July 2017.
Here is a link to this year's show:

Alan has attended and says it's very good.
This choice is aimed at getting a lot more S Owners from the Southern regions to attend.
Before those of you oop norf start complaining, the following year, 2018, Alan suggests we hold SCH somewhere in the Northeast, the Borders, or Bonnie Scotland.
We think it is important to have a nice geographical balance of venues so we all get a chance of joining in the wonderful world of S Club.
Talking of joining in, if anyone has recommendations for a suitable northern venue, please let us know. We would also love to hear from anyone willing to give a hand with the organisation in the future. I'm not getting any younger...
It's not that difficult, even I can do it!
For those of you who would like to attend Stoneleigh Kit Car Show or Stratford Festival of Motoring or Donington Historic next year, there is nothing stopping you/us, they are held on Spring Bank Holiday weekend and do not clash with Uxbridge.
Discuss.... feedback welcome!

Hi Ray,
The organisers have said people can camp on the Saturday night, but there will be no shower facilties.
Portaloos will be available.
For the ardent camping fan, come and join me at the Barn Farm S Club weekend.
Provisional dates are Fri 23rd to Sun 25th June 2017. Full details to follow early in the new year.
Mick, sounds like a nice venue, but we were envisioning somewhere a bit further north than Ripon.

Newark and Stoneleigh were separate events but running concurrently for a few years.
I was all in favour of returning to Newark three years ago but the organisers decided to pull the plug after many years of sterling work because the showground would only offer a weekend date that coincided with Le Mans. Plus I think the organisers had given so much of themselves over the years that they needed some respite from the responsibility. It's a shame because Newark is quite a good location with excellent access from all over the country.
Regarding attendance levels, there were more active S owners with their S's on the road then compared to today, plus the weather will always be a factor that affects turnout on the SCH weekend.
This year the forecast was not brilliant, but we still had a good showing of S Clubbers. Makes yer proud!
Incidentally, talking of pride, the final figure raised for this year's nominated charity, MacMillan Cancer Care, was £317.00
Receipts are available for inspection if required.
This grand total was combined from the proceeds of the raffle, sale of SCH tankards superbly crafted by Alan, donations from Pete Deeman and I also chipped in the price of a TPS that RayTVR kindly gave me to save my bacon during this year's Eurotour.
On behalf of MacMillan, I thank you all for your generosity.

No problem here with a trip down sowf (nor up t'north in 2018) , can we get a group buy on the congestion charge? ... 
As I understand it at the moment, the congestion charge applies to Central London, and does not apply at weekends anyway Mike. http://www.visitlondon.com/traveller-information/g...
If anyone knows different, please let us know.
If you're worried about congestion, Vick Vapour Rub is good. Or goose grease and camphor.

Hello fellow S TVR fans.i am looking at the Web page for venues for 2017 , we will be at Stoneleigh Park, Any others meets a bit nearer to us in Norfolk area beforehand?
Hi Enna, Hopefully either TopGear Steve or AutoAndy will organise the "Freezing fish'n'chips run to Aldeburgh in Jan/Feb, and a re-run of the S-Club Norfolk TT sometime in April?
Keep an eye on the events wiki, it gets busier as more events/ meets are added.
Anybody is free to come up with their own suggestions ( No, Steve, I won't do that!
), so if you know of any thing happening, put it on here!

Was that the one where we stopped for lunch at a "motoring themed" cafe? 
Tasty burgers and delicious ice cream. Re Stoneleigh: Alan said at the NEC that we might as well still book a TVR area with the organisers of the kit car show, so any of us can still attend and use it as a camping base for Stratford Festival of Motoring and/ or Donington Historic.
Both Alan & I are keen to go there, and anybody with a TVR is welcome to join us.
