Other Activities & Support
The Club maintains registers of the history and details of individualvehicles.
We aim to provide a comprehensive spares service to ensure that any Gilbern part required by Club members is available. The Club currently stocks a range of spare parts for all models.
We also maintain a register of suppliers of other items and maintain contact with them to ensure, wherever possible, that all parts remain in production. In addition, the Club may invest in the production of items that are no longer commercially available.
The Club provides an advisory service through its ‘marque specialist’ members to provide advice on restoration, modifications, repairs and any other matters of concern.MXsponsor: Background Information

Local Area Groups meet on a regular basis. The Committee is keen that members should arrange meetings in this way and the Secretary will be happy to hear from any member who is interested in doing so.
Events organised during the year include the Annual General Meeting, National Day, and local social gatherings that usually take place on weekday evenings and weekends. Club members also take part in sprints, hillclimbs and historic car rallies.

Communication between members is an essential feature of the Club’s activities.

Rarebit is supported by the forums on the ‘Gilblog’ section of the Club website, including sections that are available for public view and sections that are only accessible to Club members.
