Ironbridge 2020
We are returning to The Valley Hotel in Ironbridge for the last weekend of February 2020.
The format will be as at the previous weekends at this venue, which tends to take the form of ‘do as you please’ each day. We will supply some information on places in the area you may like to visit, but if spending time chatting, drinking coffee or anything else is more your kind of thing then feel free to do that. We do ask everyone to come together for dinner on the Friday and Saturday evenings at 7.30 pm.
2019 SOC AGM press release
Press Release - 2019 Saab Owners Club AGM
The Saab Owners Club AGM took place at the Fieldhead Hotel, Markfield Leicestershire, Saturday 19th October
Dr Os Reid as Chairman welcomed all to the meeting and introduced the directors before handing over to Iain Hodcroft who chaired the meeting.
Iain opened the meeting explaining that there were Governance issues, these were duly reported to members prior to the commencement of the AGM, particularly regarding the annual election of Officers in accordance with the “Memorandum and Articles of Association” lodged with Companies House, November 2002.
It was noted that members had not voted annually for office holders for many, many years. Instead, custom and practice has been that directors are elected and then they themselves decide upon role, responsibility and who should become officers of the Club, based on both skills and experience.
This was particularly important as one interpretation of the ‘Articles’ would have been to declare a proposed resolution as invalid and remove it from the agenda. In good faith with members, this had not taken place.
Members agreed to continue with a ‘flawed’ agenda.

Ebor Saab Scottish Mystery Weekend May 2019
14 Ebor Saab members set off on Friday 10 May to make their separate ways to the assembly point at Gretna Green for what was billed as a Scottish Mystery Weekend, the mystery being only the organisers knew the itinerary. The mystery began to unfold on Saturday morning with a drive along gloriously empty roads under blue skies up into rural Scotland to visit the Kagyu Samye Ling Tibetan Temple at Eskdalemuir (nobody expected a visit the foothills of the Himalayas).
South Yorkshire Saab
South Yorkshire Saab are no longer meeting. If anyone would like to take up the baton in this part of the world please contact Elli Wilson at This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.
North of Scotland
There is no formal Branch currently in operation (largely as a result of the sheer geographical spread of members across this area) and therefore no regular meetings.
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).
The dates known so far for 2017 at which we aim to be represented are:
- 23rd Apr FBHVC 'Drive It Day' 2017 - various local runs (I'll be attending the one organised by the Highland Classic Motor Club, Inverness)
- 7th May Forres Theme Day
- 21st May Grampian Transport Museum, Alford, Aberdeenshire - "How Many Left" event for 'nearly classic' vehicles with fewer than 500 examples on the road
- 27th May Rotary Club of East Sutherland Classic Car Tour, Dornoch
- 28th May Vintage Day, Highland Folk Museum, Newtonmore
- 8th/9th Jul 43rd Scottish Transport Extravaganza, Glamis Castle, Angus
