The South Wales Classic Car club organises many activities for it's members. Single day Car Runs are very popular - the first of these is the' Chilly Willy' run early in the new year. This is followed a few weeks later by the 'Swallow Run' and in the Autumn the 'Autumn Colours Run' takes place. All of these typically cover about 50 miles and usually end up with a meal in a suitable hostelry. We also have a club stand at all of the main shows in the South Wales area throughout the show season.

We also organise more elaborate Multi day Runs involving accomodation, the largest of which is the annual visit to Ireland and takes almost a week. The club has very close associations with Ireland, particularly the Galway Classic Car Club and we have many friends there. Last year a few of our members visited the Netherlands.

Other events such as the Summer BBQ involve a short coastal run prior to the event itself. We are very fortunate that some of our long term members are a family of Butchers, this results in the very best selection of home made Sausages, Burgers and kebabs that one could hope for. This event also is a fine example of the Chef and catering talents of our Chairman Alan Thomas. In recent times we have held this at Amelia Trust Farm which is an excellent location.

The annual Treasure Hunt is another popular activity, again ending up with a meal. The team that scores lowest generally organise the next - this tends to focus the mind to do well !

Most of our efforts revolve around organising our Annual Show at Pencoed. This is normally held in May and is an extremely popular show to attend. More about the show can been viewed on the link above.

The club year usually ends with our annual Dinner and Dance - this is when various awards are made. More about this event can been seen via the Fun link above.

Most members are able to meet once a month during our 'club nights' - A variety of activities can happen from formal AGM and and discussions regarding our show to information regarding forthcoming events. We also communicate news such as correspondence and offers of spare parts or cars for sale. Occasionaly, we invite guest speakers on a diverse range of topics from Motor Racing to Bee Keeping. Sometimes we have a quizz - no two nights are ever the same and there is always the opportunity to chat with like minded people over a glass of wine or a pint !
