Our club began with four founder members in 1988 at the Gate Inn, Brinsley.
During the ensuing years, we met at several hostelries – eventually settling at the Peacock Inn, Oakerthorpe, Nr Alfreton

The current membership is drawn from a wide range of ages, interests and occupations. The uniting factor is our enjoyment
in owning and driving classic cars.
What is a "Classic Car"? So far as our membership is concerned, it is any
car treasured because it has become special by virtue of its age. The club members have a variety of types of cars with range
of ages of the cars covering 50years. Above all, our common interest
is a catalyst for the friendship and sociability, which defines our club.
Most weekends between April and October find us at a County Show or out
for a Sunday run and meal. Where possible, we take the gazebo
to static events and hot drinks are available all day.
Several "Weekends Away" are organised each year, which take in classic
car or other interesting events around Britain.
We enjoy "runs out" as a club, which always terminate at a venue chosen
for its quality beer and good food!
The club members have travelled abroad with their classic cars to destinations
such as France and Belgium.
So, in summary, "Amber Valley Classic Car Club" is a sociable group who
enjoy each other’s company and a love of classic cars.
