We are pleased to announce that booking for SAAB FEST UK at Bury is now open online at www.saabclubmembership.co.uk.

This year’s SOC National Weekend ‘SaabFest 2019 – Saabs @ The Burrs’ will take place at Burrs Country Park.
26-28 July 2019

Burrs Country Park, Woodhill Road, Bury, Greater Manchester, BL8 1DA.

Set in the foothills of the pennines with access to unlimited rugged open countryside yet within a mile or so of Bury’s town centre – the most northerly of Greater Manchester’s boroughs – Burrs is an ideal location for the 2019 Saab Owners club National weekend with plenty to do on-site the whole weekend for all Saab enthusiasts.

The weekend will commence Friday, 26 July 2019 for those attending the whole weekend. Friday’s activities will start with an informal gathering of vehicles on the main show field. Basic camping facilities for tents, caravans,
trailer tents or campers are available here.
Members and visitors requiring more facilities are strongly advised to book pitches on the adjacent ‘caravan and Motorhome club’ Site.
(www.caravanclub.co.uk/clubsites/england/north-west-england/lancashire/burrs-country-park-caravan-club-site/ Phone: 0161 761 0489)

Friday evening’s event will commence with a traditional Lancashire evening meal in a marquee in the garden of the Brown cow public house and will include a quiz, background music plus more to be announced. Around 100/120 diners can be accommodated.

Saturday morning – hopefully dawning fair, will see the show field open to day visitors from 10.00am. We will have the obligatory vehicle displays along with trade stands and a range of activities for everyone. Saturday’s evening meal will be provided once again in the garden of the Brown cow public house, just 100 yards from the show field! The marquee will again be provided for our meal and entertainment.
A slightly earlier start of 9.00am will open Sunday’s activities and will host the concours and best car competition, along with trade stands before wrapping up late afternoon with the awards and presentations and a
cream tea!

Menus will be published here and on the main website as soon as they are finalised and in the next issue of Saab ‘Driver’.

Ebor Saab Scottish Mystery Weekend May 2019

ebor saab scottish mystery weekend may 2019 1 20190529 190050204414 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).

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)
