Event Description: Set in the grounds of the Royal Agricultural College. Cirencester was one of the most important towns in Roman Britain and today is considered by many to be the Capital of the Cotswolds.
Assembling on the Friday afternoon. In the evening there will be a 23 mile drive through the local area, this will include a visit to AV8 Restaurant, Kemble Airfield, where drivers will enjoy a pre booked buffet supper, returning to the College before nightfall.
Saturday: Approx. 50 mile drive through the Cotswolds, a lunchtime halt will be in the village of Bourton on the Water. The cars will park a short distance from the Motor Museum at the Royal British Legion Hall. Nearby Cotswold Motor Museum is well worth a visit and includes a 1947 Standard 8 in their collection. For other member of the family who may not share the same interest in motor cars, there is the Model Village, Birdland or local shops each well worth a visit. A variety of eating establishments are available depending on individual requirements.
Sunday is Static Rally and display day. The Concours d’elegance judging in ten classes. Sorry no dogs allowed. Starbucks Coffee Shop open all day for light refreshments.
Location: Royal Agricultural College Area: Cirencester Gloucestershire Postcode: GL7 6JS
Organiser Information: Club caters for enthusiasts and owners of products of the Standard Motor Company of Canley, Coventry, England, which were built from 1903 to 1963. As a multinational company, cars were produced and sold in most of the world's markets. The Standard Motor Company bought the Triumph car company in 1945 and all post war Triumph cars were designed and made by the Standard Motor Company in Standard factories. Whilst many are familiar with Triumph cars, the parent company's products and the Standard marque generally has largely been ignored, except by owners. One of the club's aims is to change that, highlight the cars' qualities and give them the recognition they deserve.
