EnglishWhat Events and Car Shows Does the Old English Car Club Hold?
Updated
The Old English Car Club (OECC) lists its upcoming meetings and car shows on the EVENTS section of oecc.ca. The site describes these as gatherings for members and enthusiasts, and the club's five branches across British Columbia—Kamloops, Cranbrook, Nanaimo, Vancouver and Victoria—are the local points through which members connect. The public event page is the place to check for current details; the site does not publish a fixed annual calendar in the material available, so specific dates and venues should be confirmed on the EVENTS page.
What the Club Says About Its Events
The OECC's stated mission is the preservation, restoration and enjoyment of English vehicles of all makes and models. Its events page is framed simply: "Join us at our upcoming meetings and car shows." That wording indicates two broad categories of activity:
- Meetings — branch-level get-togethers for members and interested enthusiasts.
- Car shows — public-facing displays of British cars, consistent with the club's focus on enjoyment of English vehicles.
The club describes a community of over 700 English car enthusiasts, with members across British Columbia, Alberta, Washington State, and even one in Prague, Czech Republic. Events are therefore the main way this dispersed membership connects in person.
How Events Relate to the Five Branches
The site lists five branches in BC: Kamloops, Cranbrook, Nanaimo, Vancouver and Victoria. Because events are described alongside branches, the practical way to find something near you is to look for activity tied to your nearest branch. The site does not, in the available material, break events down by branch or publish a per-branch schedule, so treat the branch list as a guide to where club activity is concentrated rather than a confirmed event calendar.
| Branch | Region |
|---|---|
| Kamloops | BC Interior |
| Cranbrook | East Kootenay |
| Nanaimo | Vancouver Island |
| Vancouver | Lower Mainland |
| Victoria | Vancouver Island |
Where to Check Event Details
The EVENTS section of oecc.ca is the entry point for upcoming meetings and car shows. To use it:
- Go to oecc.ca.
- Open the EVENTS section from the site navigation.
- Review the listed meetings and car shows for dates, locations and any attendance details.
Because the site's available content does not include a dated event list, check the EVENTS page directly for the current schedule rather than relying on secondhand summaries.
Do You Need to Be a Member to Attend?
The site does not state that events are restricted to members, and its welcome message is broad: "If you're passionate about British cars, we look forward to welcoming you." Membership is presented separately, at $25 via the JOIN page, as a way to join the community of over 700 enthusiasts. Whether a given meeting or show requires membership is not specified in the available material, so confirm with the club or the event listing if that matters for your plans.
Connecting With Other Enthusiasts
Events are the club's main social channel, and the site also points to CLASSIFIEDS for buying or selling cars. For someone new to British motoring, a sensible sequence is: check EVENTS for a nearby show or meeting, attend to meet branch members, and consider the $25 membership if you want to stay involved. The club notes that members are diverse—not all English, not all old, and some without English cars—so prior ownership is not a prerequisite for showing up.
