SaabFest 2020 and Covid 19
Dear Club Members, we the board of the Saab Owners Club GB Ltd are currently reviewing the clubs events and meets in light of the Covid 19 virus. A number of events have already been cancelled in the UK as per government guidelines and many members have been asking if Saabfest at Haslebury Mill has been cancelled or postponed.
At the time of writing this statement we are four months away from the event - scheduled date 31st July – 2nd August 2020. At this moment in time we have not cancelled or postponed the event but we have decided to keep the event under constant review. We intend to make a decision by the 30th April whether or not the event will proceed. This decision will be made solely upon the advice and recommendations of the government at that time. If we cancel the event all bookings for admission will be refunded within due course.
We would ask all members of the UK Saab community to also follow government guidelines and to either cancel or postpone all events and meets until the government advises differently.
We wish you, your families and loved ones the very best of health at this difficult and testing times, please stay safe.
Chris Redmond
Chairman

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

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 2020 at which we aim to be represented are:
- 26th Apr FBHVC 'Drive It Day' 2020 - various local runs (I'll be attending the one organised by the Highland Classic Motor Club, Inverness)
- 9th May Inverness Classic Vehicle Show - on the streets of Inverness with Parade finale led by pipe band
- 10th May Grampian Transport Museum, Alford, Aberdeenshire - "How Many Left" event for 'nearly classic' vehicles with fewer than 500 examples on the road
- 23rd May Rotary Club of East Sutherland Classic Car Tour, Dornoch
- 11/12th Jul 46th Scottish Transport Extravaganza, Glamis Castle, Angus (see UKSaabs forum for details)
- 9th Aug Historic Wheels Vintage Car Rally, Brodie Castle, Morayshire
- 31st Aug Fortrose & Rosemarkie Classic Vehicle Rally, Fortrose, Ross-shire.
- 6th Sept Motor Mania, Grantown on Spey.
- 19th Sept 'Wheels of Nairn', Nairn Links
