Events

All Club events are open to any vehicle designed / built by those Eastern Bloc regimes behind the Iron Curtain during the Cold War period (includes vehicles sharing some pedigree with those vehicles).  Participants do not have to be a member of the Club, although we would of course welcome you!

See Gallery for photos of recent events.

Main events are listed below.  Other events of a more local nature are often held – see details on the Club’s Facebook page and group.
