The VSCC is delighted to return to St George’s Barracks, Bicester, for the year’s traditional curtain-closer, the Winter Driving Tests. As ever championed by the father and son team of Malcolm and Mark Elder, the event is the last chance for competitors to accrue those all-important points towards the Club’s many Annual Aggregate Trophies as well as their final opportunity to compete in earnest with the Club in 2013. Driving Tests are a fun and challenging discipline and often seen as a great introduction to motor sport for the younger member, promoting car control and accuracy in an entertaining and friendly surrounding. So embrace the wintery conditions and come and test your vintage driving skills with us this December.

Medicals
Once again our VSCC doctors and helpers will be in attendance at the Winter Driving Tests for RAC medicals as before. There is no need to book a medical, simply turn up at St George’s Barracks with your body, your licence application form and your cheque book. A choice of a Forces charity or Practical Action will be the beneficiaries of the fee of £75.00 – those of you that pay tax will be asked to complete a ‘gift aid’ declaration as well so that the charity can claim the tax on your donation. Bonhams are kindly donating champagne in a free raffle for medical candidates and marshals. RAC stress test ECGs can be performed at Kettering General Hospital ECG Department for a fee which remains at £100. The welcome extra donation of cash on top of this has been used to buy a television and other equipment to keep patients happy. Telephone the ECG Department on 01536 492485 for an appointment. The test is often during the lunch hour of the technicians; a report written at the same time will be available.

Race & Speed Forum
We will also be holding our annual end of season Race & Speed Forum at the venue on the day. This is your chance to give feedback on the 2013 calendar of Race, Sprint and Hill Climb events and also put forward any suggestions for these disciplines for next year and beyond; tell us what you think of the venues, meetings and organisation all in an open forum style meeting. Everyone is welcome, seasoned competitors, marshals or those who are just starting out – so please come along and tell us what you want from the events organised by your Club.
