The Big Southern Gathering 10th September 2022 (with optional stopover)

Come and join us for a relaxed and enjoyable day or weekend, based around the world famous Haynes Motor Museum and Historic Helicopters in the stunning Somerset countryside.

Saturday starts off 10am at Haynes Motor Museum, BA22 7LH, with over 400 classic cars and bikes to wander around, it is also a living and working Museum. You will also get a full guided tour through the museum and the Restoration Workshops.

Note: the restoration workshops are not open to the public and TVRCC have secured exclusive access!

Entrance fee includes complimentary tea, coffee and Danish on arrival plus sandwich lunch in the Napier Suite, as well as full guided tours through the museum and the Restoration Workshops, which aren’t usually open to the general public.

Next stop, with a convoy of cars on route, is another exclusive, with a visit to Historic Helicopters at Chard TA20 4BP, again TVRCC has been given exclusive access to areas not usually open to the general public. Historic Helicopters is a charity which aims to raise money to preserve, maintain and operate a fleet of unique, vintage helicopters.

After exploring these magnificent machines you will retire to the function room (with licenced bar)  at approx. 6pm for a light dinner of freshly baked pizzas and buffet. The evening is planned to be an informal get together so we can sit and chat, with a bit of grub and a few drinks thrown in as well.

From here you can either head home or join a few who have already planned to stay over, there is free camping on site at the Helicopter location or you can use one of the local hotels.

For those who stopover and are hopefully not to hung over, there will be a range of optional drives out Sunday or you can just visit some of the stunning local countryside and coastline.

Hope you can make it.

Please book via the club shop ASAP as there are limited places left.
