The first running of the “Three Shires Stages” closed road, multi venue rally, based at Eastnor Castle, Nr Ledbury is on 7th September 2019.
The Winter Series is made up of navigational events, no car modifications are needed, ideal for novices and experts alike. We offer training to those new to the sport.

Social
The Clubhouse and Bar is open every evening, and all day Saturday. Plus extended opening for selected F1 Grand Prix and some other international sporting fixtures. The main social nights are Friday & Saturday. Many local people have joined the Club as Associate members, they enjoy the range of Real Ales, the atmosphere and the cheaper prices. (Anyone visiting the Club on more than 3 occasions will be asked to join as an Associate member). A regular annual event is our Wheel Ale Festival
Over the last few years we have gained a good reputation for our Real Ales & Ciders. We have received many CAMRA awards. In both 2013 and 2017 we were awarded the prestigious CAMRA National Club of the Year.
We also stock real cider and a range of wines. CAMRA members welcome, local CAMRA groups sometimes have meetings at the Club.
We have our own Darts and Pool teams in the Cheltenham Leagues, plus have our own cycling and walking groups.
Other local groups meet at the Club, Drag Racers, Motorbike Trials, Scramble and Enduro Clubs, local home brewers, plus a couple of cycling groups and The Hash House Harriers. We have a couple of rooms that we can make available for meetings.
The Magic Bus outings visit local pubs and breweries, usually on a Tuesday evening once a month during the summer months. During the winter months we occasionally have longer trips on a Saturday, for example: beer festivals or Black Country pub tours. The trips are very popular. Book early to avoid disappointment.
