Gates open at 9am.

It's free to everybody but you need to be a VOC member to enter the BKV (Best Kept Volvo) competition.

You can join the VOC at a reduced price of £30 on the day.

Entries for the competition close at 1pm.

All cars will be on hard standing this year.

We look forward to seeing everybody on Sunday.

Glad we made the effort. Capacity crowd and a great atmosphere, even the rain has stayed elsewhere so far! Thanks to all who had a part in planning, organising or staging the event!

Regards, John.

I went to this event this morning, having never been to a Volvo club rally before, sadly I shall never be going to another, we turned up early not in a Volvo, (currently restoring an Amazon) the steward on the entrance was at best ignorant and rude, I’ve been a member of many classic car clubs throughout the years and can honestly say that was the least friendly reception I’ve ever received!
Shame….

Just home from Uttoxeter and want to thank all the organisers for an excellent day. Made most welcome by many folks and the icing on the cake was my C70 coming second in its class.

A good afternoon. Nice to chat to like minded owners. Bought some oil filters and had a sausage cob!

I drove in the other entrance and no sign of anyone or signage! Spotted 2 volvos in distance and Lady on reception, so found the right place.

Thanks to the organisers, a nice afternoon and the weather held. A very good turn out. Plenty of 900, 960 and odd 740 series.
