| 4 | The FCC (Four Counties Classic) will continue to meet on the first and third Saturdays of every month in 2025:The FCC (Four Counties Classic) is a free gathering for all pre-1990 classic cars. The gatherings take place from 9am to noon on the first and third Saturdays of every month throughout the year at The Bletchingley Arms, 2 High St, Bletchingley, Surrey RH1 4PE For those who need sustenance, The Bletchingley Arms serves breakfast between 9.30am and 10.30am. The event is a static gathering in the midst of some wonderful driving roads though the scenic North Downs. When the weather was kind, prior to the lock-downs we often had as many as 130 cars in attendance. One reason for the success of the gathering is its geographical location close to the borders between four counties. We have regular members who come from Surrey, Greater London, Kent and Sussex. There are probably more classic cars in these four counties than anywhere else in the country (and therefore the world). |

The route to Crofton is through beautiful country lanes and our part of Wiltshire is well supplied with good pubs for lunch. While you are in this part of Wiltshire you can also visit Wilton Windmill which is a short drive from Crofton or why not explore further to Stonehenge or Avebury. The Atwell Wilson Motor Museum at Calne and Marlborough with its famous high street are all within easy, pleasant, driving distances.
Car Parking and entry to the Pumping Station grounds is free and entry to the Pumping Station itself is half price for drivers of classic vehicles. We will be supporting the NSPCC (Drive It Day's chosen charity for 2026) on the day and should have an NSPCC stand on site during the day. By buying a Drive It Day plaque from https://www.driveitday.co.uk/events/drive-it-day-2026 you will help the NSPCC. We have two large car parks so can cater for multiple car clubs as well as individual cars and motorcycles. |
