This is a rolling view of club events.
This years Soapbox entry was a bit last minute, we decided to decorate the cart with previous years designs, The club van, Batman and Lego. Regrettably we have nothing left of WD40.
This year saw a packed field with 28 vehicles entered to throw themselves at the mercy of the Hill. With some spills, some breakages some body work mishaps it was a great day out for all.
This year we had a different team pushing (Peter, Craig & Jolyon) who did a fantastic job of powering our soapbox to top 3 in the first run, despite body work mishaps and Adam's rather wobbly route to the first ramp.
The afternoons second run saw our pushers working better having learned from the first run and the soapbox stripped of body work to try and improve the run.
With a great start and Adam getting as low as possible between jumps we hit a Time of 25.86 seconds the Fastest run of the day.
This Years Drive it Day saw the club on a run through the lanes of Essex from our club night home, The Rayleigh Lodge to The Cart and Wagon Shed Shoeburyness Heritage Centre where we were met by David for a Tour and information session. Then the joys of the Cafe for lunch
The First Show of 2026 It was cold damp at times but a steady follow of public and the 40 vehicles allowed made for a pleasant day with a lot of publicity for this years London to Southend. And this was made possible thanks to the gracious invite from Southend and District Classic Car Club
The last show of the year saw brave members, endure the cold and rain for The Billericay Christmas Market. The traditional Wetherspoons breakfast helps keep the weather at bay and brings the Christmas mood up, the public showed a lot of interest in our vehicles and club.
With no plans for a big show this year, Canvey Transport Museum invited the club to put on a small display at their depot along side their heritage buses and vehicles. along with crafts, live music and a free shuttle bus to the sea wall and parking the day proved to be very popular.
Watch this space for next year as they plan a heavy vehicle and Military display that we might be able to join.
Another good showing at this years Barleylands Classic Car show, we had already been told that we couldn't win best stand this year after a two year run of wins, that didn't stop Craig, Gary and co pulling out the stops to make the stand 'stand out'.
Once again the Club were asked to display at this years show, displaying nearly 40 vehicles as part of the show. With bad weather in the build up to the show it turned out to be a lovely day. The show has something for everyone from Steam vehicles, Classics, Crafts, animals, stalls, rides, Axe throwing and even Helicopter rides it is always a great day out.
This years booked out event saw entrants starting from Fairlop Waters and North Weald, joining together through Blackmore and out into Essex before descending on Southchurch Park East for a free to view classic and vintage display
The clubs first visit to The Lawn saw 23 on the stand with a few members that we didn't catch on independent display.

With the forecasted rain bringing overall numbers down this year, Hardy members were parked up on our awarding stand. For what turned out to be a good show despite the rain showers.
With rain falling, intrepid members headed to long time members and friends T Cribbs & Sons for a Fish and Chip lunch. Graham entertained those in attendance with a tour of their stables, an introduction to some of their 28 strong stable of Friesian horses, followed by Fish & Chips supplied by Graham and Cribbs. We were then shown around the restoration garages and their vintage hearses and carriages along with their preservation carriages.
It was a pleasurable and enjoyable day despite the rain. Thanks to Graham, Joe and all those involved.
