I Received this Email from David Banes who organises Clubs/Displays In the paddock area at Kop Hill,

Dear Club Secretary

Following last years event, Kop Hill will again host a weekend of historic motorsport action on 22nd and 23rd September 2012.
Now in its fourth year, the revival of Kop Hill Climb has been a total sell-out from the beginning and last year over 12,000 participants and spectators (up from 8,000 in 2011) enjoyed an action-packed weekend viewing iconic vehicles from the earliest days of motorised transport up to super cars of the present day and watching them in action on the hill. What’s more, over £37,000(up from £25,000 in 2011) was raised for our local charities.

Since the introduction of car and bike clubs in 2010 they have become an indispensable part of the event bringing a diverse collection of vehicles for the enjoyment of spectators in the paddock.

Why not book space in the paddock to display your members’ vehicles. You will be assured a wonderful weekend of sights and sounds as well as the opportunity to promote your club in a relaxing environment in the beautiful Chiltern Hills, near Princes Risborough, Bucks.

For full details of the event, and its history visit our website at www.kophillclimb.info

If there is enough interest of club members displaying there cars in the paddock area I will register club126uk,

There is no charge for clubs to participate but they must promote the event amongst their members who will then book directly via our website. A clubs’ registration form is included, on receipt of which (and acceptance of) your club will be added to our website so that members can book to participate as part of your club group.

The cost would be £20 for the day either Saturday or Sunday which includes the entrance fee to watch Kop Hill Climb at the side of the track, Please remember this is a charity event, It also attracts allot of motorhead celebrities and would promote club126uk and our cars if we had a stand in the paddock area at this Premier Historic Motor Event!

I have not been to this event before. It is not too far from me, so I am definitely going to this one. Is anyone going to this event?

[Abiella]

I could be keen, but I can't say if I will definitely be able to make it at this point in time!

[Pete126]

Right guys we need names, Who's up for the Sunday?

[Amateb8]

Weather permitting, I am in!

I went along to fly the flag on sunny Saturday and it really was a good event. They broke the record for weekend attendance by mid morning . I would guess that this event is quite unique in that it is like a local event but the major history dating from 1910 and it's recent revival brings in cars & bikes from all over. Oldest car was a 1903 Humber through to a pretty new Mclaren. Also as a hill climb it is not static so you get to see them all running

Gosh that Speedman chap is almost as good as me at taking snaps 
I do have to say that he has very good taste as one of them shows a certain little 126 DeVille next to a white Carerra 

[MRS G]

Me again -  Do you have a list of events for next year?  I am guessing there are no more for this year.   Do you have a stand at the classic car or any where like that, we would love to come.

If you have a scan at the meetings and events section on the forum it will give you a good idea of what has been happening, meeting wise, over the last few years. I don't think there is anything coming up in britain at the moment.
