A very warm welcome to the new look website of the Watford & District Classic Vehicle Club, the club was formed in 1994 by two local enthusiasts Doug May and Peter Batchelor. With the Enfield and District Veteran Vehicle Society and the Uxbridge & District Classic Vehicle Society they considered there was a gap between these two clubs, enough to create another one.
The WDCVC exists to support anyone who owns a veteran, vintage or classic vehicle including commercials, a vehicle of special interest or simply an interest in the vehicle movement.
Membership is open to all. You don't have to live in Watford, you don't even have to live in the UK. You don't need to even own a form of transport! All you need is enthusiasm. We hold regular meetings, have a bi-monthly magazine, and we host and attend lots of shows throughout the year (see SHOWS page). So if you fancy meeting some super people and visiting some great places, please get in touch or go to JOIN page for a membership form.
Please have a look at our website and if you have any further enquiries please dont hesitate to e-mail us through the website of contact one of us by telephone, the numbers can be found on the " Contact " page.
Happy Motoring.
Classics on the Green Wednesday 6th August 2008.
This show will be held on the Green, Croxley Green, Nr Watford Herts from 3pm till late.
Last year over 1800 vehicles attended this event which has been by far the most successful form of car show we have ever run and is not to be missed. Like all our events this will be open to all types of interesting vehicles from Classic Cars to Custom Cars, Kit Cars to Super Cars, Vintage Cars, Bikes Comercial Vehicles and Steam Engines. Last year we could say we had over 100 years of motoring with a 1903 James and Browne right up to a new model Ferrari. This event is for all types of Petrol Heads as the atmosphere is super with picnics at the back of most cars on the Green and everyone having a great time.
All we ask of you when you turn up is a donation towards R.N.L.I, Diabetes UK and Leukaemia Research our chosen charities this year.
As space is always tight make sure you get there early you will have a great time and meet many old friends.
This event is run by Watford and District Classic Vehicle Trust Ltd the charity side of the car club licence number 1087621.
All the best Kevin.

After Xmas get together...
Over the last few years, we as a Club have organised a get together for members and their friends to have a social evening during the middle of January. This has been a fancy dress event.
However, this year Kevin was organising the event and thought it would be nice to have a break from the themed get together so arranged the evening as an evening wear dress code. A different venue was selected and so on Saturday 2nd February 2008 the get togther took place at the Abbots Langley Cricket Club,the hall was still with its christmas decorations up so looked just the part.
An excellent buffet was supplied by outside caterers, Sue & Bob and they did us very proud indeed as there was certainy plenty to go round and the quality was good at such a responisble price per head.
I was delighted that my guests were able to make it too, they were two couples who I have got to know well through the shows and they both have supported the WDCVC at Croxley since we started those and previous at the Hemel show.
More pictures will appear once Kevin has downloaded them.

BOXING DAY MEETING AT SARRATT
THIS EVENT IS NOT RUN BY WDCVC although many people think we are involved in some way, WE ARE NOT - we can not take the credit for this annual gathering. A number of our members do now attend but up to a few years ago when I added an article into the clubs " Glovebox " many of our members were unaware of this because NO advertising is done -
A chance to get out of the festive celebrations for an hour or two, pop down to The Green at Sarratt and join the amazing atmosphere that this event brings, it has been running for many many years now.
" MERRY CHRISTMAS & A HAPPY AND HEALTHY NEW YEAR "
We would like to thank you for your support over the last 12 months, helping us have another very successful year and raising money for Leukemia Research and Cancer Research.
For 2008, we have chosen two new charities to support and these are RNLI and Diabetes UK.
We look forward to seeing you either at the stand around the many events we attend during the year or indeed at our very successful Croxley Green events. Details will be posted here within the next couple of weeks.........
Best Wishes from Peter & Kevin (webmasters) and the rest of WDCVC.
