What a wonderful May bank holiday weekend!  The sun came out and our tops were down for some serious action in the S2000s!  Here's a couple of things we were up to - let us know if you did anything?  Go to a show that we should attend next year? Let us know!

Despite the weather keeping a lot of people at home BBQing, we had a great time at Ace Café on Sunday night, prizes were given out for most clean & shiny, dirtiest car (tough to beat this winner!), best build (which went to a car built to work, competing in sprints an hillclimbs) and car of the show (which was won by a pristine 12,000 miler).  We also had visits from NSX and a beautiful S660 Kei car!  Plenty to see and the food was awesome as always.  Date for your diary - 13th August for the next one - stay tuned for tickets.

 In the West, the Bristol area crew met up for breakfast then had areat drive from Lillypool Cafe, through Cheddar Gorge and finishing off with a pint at Congresbury.

 Some members of the Northern Ireland cell met for the May driving meet. With 6 cars attending. A great word of thanks to all those who made it, Clive it was great to have you join us on your 1st S2000 meet. Nice to see a GT100 being properly driven.

We were blessed with some great roads in the Antrim Hills and surrounding areas, and with fantastic weather to enjoy them. We like to have a driving meet once a month in the summer time. Keep your eyes peeled for the next one!

 

 A few members got together for a Yorkshire meet - at the Thornton le Dale Classic Car Show, great cars there Ian Pomfret, Adrian Mudd and Ian McAuslane

Last Sunday saw the first get together for our Scottish S2KUK contingent, with a nice selection of cars on display at Inverness Performance Car Show.  We managed to find and adopt a local owner, Matty who owns the stunning Platinum White Pearl! Also brightening up the display was Neil's Monza Red (he likes to call it lipstick pink).   Thanks to Bob (and Yoda) for making the arrangements.

With event season in full swing we look forward to great attendance at our next 2 Scottish shows, The Scottish Festival of Motoring in Edinburgh (16th July) and Aberdeen Performance Car Show (6th August).  To join our stand with discounted tickets from only £7, members should head to our store: https://s2kuk.com/store.php#!/Event-Stand-Tickets/c/32916506

With 18% of the vote.  For the full rundown see the chart below.

It is time to nominate the S2KUK Charity of the year for 2023/24.

You can see here how the Club has raised almost £82,000 in the past years all for very good causes.

Now it is your chance to nominate a charity of choice for the coming club year.  

All pad up members will have an email with nomination form link, Nominations will also be accepted through email to s2kuk@s2kuk.com or simply comment on this article.  

Please give a brief description of your nominated charity, why you are nominating it and a link to their website.

Nominations will close on 28th April 2023, at which point there will be a vote to select from the nominations.

Over the years the Club has raised a good amount of funds in reserves as a result of continued success and membership numbers.  To give something back to members we took the decision to invest in some inflatable event shelters, recommended to us by a number of other clubs.  This equipment will save us money in the long term, reducing the need for us to hire any structures at big events.  We have today taken delivery of an inflatable "spider" and a smaller shelter, which are shown on the mock up below.   This adds to our club kit of flags, banners and fold up gazebos to give us a great choice of kit!

It will not quite fit in the boot of an S2000!! So we are planning to arrange transport for equipment to the major events we are attending in numbers this year.  We hope you are able to enjoy this facility at the events, and if you have any special requests for events to attend (in numbers!) then please get in touch!
