2022 Highlights

Check out some of our favourite meets and events from the year. 2022 was the first full year of events since covid, and we made the most of it. With a total of 35 events the club had a very busy year. With favourite events such as Cars at the Castles in the calendar alongside exciting new ones like Simply Italian at Beaulieu.

Simply Italian

  • 24th April 2022
  • National Motor Museum – Beaulieu

A new event for the clubs calendar, Simply Italian. We’ve attended Beaulieu many times in the past holding private club rallies, however this was on a different scale. Over 400 Italian vehicles of which 130 of them were Abarths. From Fiats to Ferrari’s, there was something for everyone. AOCSSH was one of many regional clubs to attend.

Cars at the Castle

  • 19th June 2022
  • Hever Castle – Edenbridge

A firm favourite with members, Cars at the Castle. The event took place on the lawns of Hever Castle in Edenbridge. The castle has a varied history spanning over 700 years, and is most well known for being the home of Anne Boleyn (King Henry’s VIII fourth wife). We attended the event on the Sunday, displaying 30 Abarths.

Abarths at Royal Armouries Fort Nelson

  • 16th October 2022
  • Fort Nelson – Portchester

A new venue to the club for 2022. Fort Nelson sits on the summit of Portsdown Hill, dating back to the 1860s, providing spectacular views of Portsmouth. We attended for breakfast at the Fort Nelson cafe. After we explored the fort.

2021 Highlights

Crawling out of lockdown 3, our events returned in May 2021. Kicking off with an event at Rykas Cafe. As more restrictions were lifted we were able to add more meets and events to our calendar. Below is just a summary of 28 events and meets held over 2021. We attended some new events such as Hever Castles Cars at the Castle event, whilst continuing to go to our favourite venues like Goodwood. We also had a record breaking year for club attendance, hosting some of the clubs biggest events.

Thruxton Historic

  • 13th June 2021
  • Thruxton Circuit – Andover

One of our favourite summer events, the Thruxton Historic. This year we attended on the Sunday, and had a line up of 6 races to watch. We had full access to the pits and able to get up close to the action. There was also a parade lap, where Colin and Clive took their Abarths to the track. Although a lot of us got sunburnt… it was a very enjoyable day!

Shere Hill Climb

  • 5th September 2021
  • Staple Lane – East Clandon

Shere Hill Climb was a new event to the 2021 calendar, and proved to be popular. We had a club stand next to the hill climb, and also had 3 Abarths taking on the hill. Ashley, Paul & Michael, each had 3 runs up the hill raising money for charity. The climb ascends over 300 feet in just 1 mile.

Abarths at Beaulieu

  • 3rd October 2021
  • National Motor Museum – Beaulieu

Absent from the event calendar since 2019, Abarths at Beaulieu made a return for 2021. This year we invited every club in the UK to join us. This event was the biggest the club has ever hosted, with 114 people in 73 cars turning up. Members enjoyed full access to the National Motor Museum and other attractions.
