Where Are the Old English Car Club (OECC) Branches Located?

The Old English Car Club has five branches, all in British Columbia: Kamloops, Cranbrook, Nanaimo, Vancouver, and Victoria. If you are deciding whether to join or attend a meeting, the branch list is the practical starting point — it tells you which local group is closest to you. Membership is not limited to those five areas, though: the club reports members across British Columbia as well as in Alberta, Washington State, and even Prague, Czech Republic.

The Five Branches at a Glance

The club describes itself as a community of over 700 English car enthusiasts, with a mission of preservation, restoration, and enjoyment of English vehicles of all makes and models. The branches are how that mission is organized locally.

How Branches Connect to Events and Meetings

The OECC site pairs its branch list with an events section: "Join us at our upcoming meetings and car shows." In practice, the branch nearest you is the group most likely to run the meetings and car shows you would actually attend, so check the events listing alongside the branch map before planning to show up somewhere.

A few things worth knowing before you pick a branch:

• You don't need to live in a branch city. The club explicitly notes members outside BC, including in Alberta, Washington State, and Prague. Distance affects how often you can join in person, not whether you can belong.
• You don't need to own an English car. The club says its members "aren't all English, they aren't all old and some don't even own English cars" — interest in British motoring is the common thread.
• Branch fit is about events, not eligibility. If you are in the Interior, Kamloops is the natural anchor; on Vancouver Island you have two options, Nanaimo and Victoria; in the Lower Mainland, Vancouver.

Joining and Getting Involved

Membership is listed on the club's join page at $25. The site also has a classifieds section for finding or selling a car, which is useful if your interest in a branch is partly about sourcing a vehicle locally.

If your goal is simply to confirm there is an OECC presence near you, the answer is yes for five BC communities — and the club welcomes members well beyond them. The next step is to look at the events calendar for the branch closest to you and attend a meeting or car show before committing to membership.
