Singer National Weekend
2025 Singer National Weekend is being held in the North East of England, and in particular County Durham otherwise known as the ‘Land of the Prince Bishops ’. Our home for the weekend will be the 4* rated ‘Blackwell Grange Hotel’ in Darlington, itself originally a fine country house with a history dating back some 250 years plus. Our hosts for the weekend are Joe and Michelle Staton (SOC North East Region Representatives) who along with other members of the Club have put together a superb schedule of events which includes drives out and visits to several iconic ‘Land of the Prince Bishops’ visitor attractions, most notably the *Locomotion Museum in Shildon , the Bowes Museum in Barnard Castle and Raby Castle and country park estate, in Staindrop (where the Club is holding the National Day itself on Sunday 22nd June). It promises to be a weekend not to miss .
2025 will see the North East marking (in a big way via rail200) the bicentennial of the opening of the Stockton and Darlington railway, the world's first steam powered passenger/freight rail service, by hosting multiple events throughout the year. The rail revolution that followed the opening of this line went on to change not just Britain, but the world itself and the Locomotion Museum is home to the engine that started it .
Bromley Pageant of Motoring
Contact: Guy Barton. Details Page 3 of the SOC magazine.
The Bromley Pageant of Motoring has been a prominent fixture in the South of England classic car calendar for some years and for 2025 it is moving to the Sussex County Showground at Ardingly, West Sussex, on 27th July 2025. This arrival on the Sussex calendar has prompted Guy and Peter Brown, on behalf of the SOC and SMC respectively, to try and put together a large Singer presence at this inaugural meeting. To this end they are co-ordinating between the two Singer Clubs to have an integrated stand. Members of either Club can register with the organisers and have their cars displayed in the same place. Early registration is open now, and will benefit from a reduced fee as well as ensuring a place; the event is often oversubscribed. The early bird price is £8 per car (plus booking fee). Early bird prices end on 31st January 2025 and the price will then be £10 plus booking fee per car. Each pass is valid for 2 adults and 2 children aged 5-15 (under 5’s are free).

When booking a place please use the link: https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/bromley-pageant-of-motoring-clubs-tickets-961533932877 and access code: SiNGeRoWCc25. Registration online is very simple but there is a helpline for members who prefer more “classic” means of communication: 07375 554420.
Please let Guy know if you are registering (guybo58@gmail.com) so he can keep an eye on numbers and ensure we have enough room.
