As The Saab Owners Club celebrates its 60th anniversary throughout 2023, several additional meetings are planned, one of which is the opportunity to display your cherished Saabs on the ‘showground’ of what is probably the ‘best’ open-air museum in Britain.
Although this is a one-day event, Saturday, 17 June 2023, there is the opportunity to camp overnight (basic facilities) on an adjacent overflow car park either the night before or the night of the event.
SOC members are asked to book by email with Derek Best This email address is being protected from spambots.

(Iain Hodcroft who was looking after this is currently unavailable.)

Where possible, there is usually an SOC 'presence' at gatherings across the region organised by other clubs, motor museums or advertised on web forums (principally UKSaabs).
