WIRRAL CLASSIC CAR CLUB
History.
The club was originally formed in 1993 by a group of friends, who met at the Irby Mill pub and was called the Irby Mill Classic Car Club. The Club Night venue moved to the Greave Dunning and in 1995 the name was changed to Wirral Classic Car Club (WCCC). The Club is a member of the Federation of British Historic Vehicle Clubs (FBHVC).
Club Nights.
WCCC members meet on the last Wednesday of each month from 8.00pm throughout the year, except December, at the Royal British Legion premises. 78, Pensby Road, Heswall, CH60 7RF. A variety of activities are arranged including: - Model Night, Members Car Night, Ladies Night, Member’s Auction, Inter Club Quiz against other local car clubs and invited Speakers to give talks. A raffle is held on club nights with tickets costing £1.00 each for prizes. The Club prides itself on being friendly and endeavours to make everyone welcome. You do not have to own a classic car to be a member.
Main Events/Shows
The Club runs four annual events/shows comprising: - Social Run & Treasure Hunt in April, Wirral Classic Vehicle Show in May, Wirral Historic Vehicle Rally in July and Gordale Classic Vehicle Show & Run in September.
