Hi guys. A newbie to this forum, but a regular on others.

Are there any meets in the Exeter or Plymouth area? We have some great roads and events.

The VSCC have a hill climb at Wiscombe next Sunday, which is near Honiton in Devon. Anyone going?

I'm in this area and nothing regular seems to happen here. Tends to be all up Bristol way or one-offs here and there around the region. I'm away this weekend but would like to watch the hillclimbing one day. Not at all far for me from Exmouth.

There are 3 weekends of Hillclimbs at Wiscombe in May, The 1st weekend is the 500 owners on Sat & VSCC on Sun. The next weekend is the Torbay meeting on Sat and Wildlife Autosport on Sun, and the 3rd weekend is the 2 day Woolbridge Motor Club event. So plenty of hillclimbing to keep you happy at Wiscombe in May. I will be there for one day of each of the weekends and might stay for the VSCC event as it is always an automotive treat.

I live between exeter & plymouth & would love some more local meets.

Unfortunately most of the activity is Bristol based, as mentioned previously. There is ocassionally a breakfast meet or a run around south hams, but not enough "Proper southwest" meets

Unfortunately - While the weather is good, i'll be on my boat. If its cloudy, in the car. This doesnt allow me to organise much as the weather rules my world in the summer.

There doesn't seem to be much on in May, anyone fancy a meet somewhere?

Some events on at Wiscombe in May, but could meet up anywhere in the SW?

There's a kit car breakfast meet here.

I'm sure the kit car guys wouldn't mind a few others crashing!
