The visit will start at 10:00 am with coffee and an introductory talk before conducted tours of the workshops and premises, ending around 12:30 pm. Members are welcome to bring guests if they wish.

From their extensive workshops near Battle, CKL Historic Cars offers a one-stop shop, delivering award-winning restorations. CKL also provides specialised racing services and comprehensive event support. Their pristine facilities are full of high-end cars, making any visit an automotive feast.

There will be an initial meet up at the Blackbrooks Garden Centre near Battle at 9:30 am so that if any partners would like to come but do not want the workshop tour they can spend the morning there. This would also allow us to arrive at CKL together, which is easier for them.

Lunch will be at the Sedlescombe Golf Club which is offering a buffet lunch at £20/head and has lots of parking in very pleasant surroundings.

If you are interested in coming, please let Glynn Boyd know. We need firm buffet numbers for the golf club so once you have confirmed your place with Glynn, please make payment in advance to the Club account. Bookings close on 25 September.
