Being a relative newbie on here!

Just wondered if there were any car clubs in the Weston-super-Mare area.

Love driving love cars. Unfortunatly stuck with a company focus at the moment!


Any comments would be most appreciated!!

Any particular car type or general? I think there are some Classic Car clubs and a few one-marque clubs.

There is these guys, not been involved but have seen them on the air field doing the auto test stuff.

Other than that, I suppose it depends what you are after, boy racers meet in the Macdonalds car park, a VW club meets in side Macdonalds, there are other groups that I see around from time to time.

You could try the guys at South West Performance Car Club.

Its a general club for all marques. They attend different shows etc but also arrange sprint events and track events. They are a friendly bunch.

Are you looking for an active motorsport club or a social motorclub?

Active motorsport, rallies hillclimbs etc, then Burnham On Sea Motorclub for a social club with a regular monthly meeting then Weston Motorclub.

Both clubs are active and organise events locally. I have to admit i'm biased as i'm Vice Chairman of Burnham Motorclub.

Where does the Burnham motorclub meet? I have lived 10 minutes away for the last 9 years (East Huntspill) and didnt know it existed. As for WSM I know lotus (Seloc) meet at locking sometimes and then there is obviously the Gorge which is well worth going to if you can make one of those PH meets, sadly i missed the last.

Hi Shell.

We have a monthly meet (sadly often poorly supported) at the Knowle Inn Bawdrip on 1st monday of the month. But a couple of times a year we hold a skittles match at the Red Cow, against Weston Motor Club. We do have a website but it is often lacking in info. I am trying to get the monthly mag put on it. We are predomently a Rally and Speed Event club.

My ears pricked up when I heard about Burnham-on-Sea Motor Club too - I'm about 2-3 miles from there. But like the above post I'm not into Rally and Speed events TBH. May pop to a meeting sometime during Summer though, just to see what goes on.
