CLUB EVENTS Club events are one of the most fundamental aspects for its members, incorporating national and regional locations with the added edge of the competitive motoring scene. Members are encouraged to participate wherever they are, and with 34 regions throughout the world - be it in the United Kingdom, Europe or World-wide – there is a welcome at any venue in any country to all. 2011 is the 75th Anniversary of the formation of the Club and this was commemorated in style at the Concours and Summer Rally – held once again at BDC Headquarters. A special weekend hotel event, in Stratford Upon Avon, with a Gala dinner and dance brought members together to celebrate 75 years of the BDC.

A truly magnificent location with a House full of glorious paintings and furnishings; gardens that are a joy to behold and a stunning setting for this event.

Members have the opportunity to meet old friends and make new friends in the most comfortable surroundings of a country hotel in a beautiful location. Overseas members are especially encouraged to join this event.

The Club thrives at grass-roots level through the enthusiasm of its members. In the UK alone members organise in excess of 30 events every month, and it is said that hardly a day goes by that doesn’t have a BDC Regional event somewhere in the world! 2011 – The Britain by Bentley Tour was the highlight of the year, with visitors from far and wide joining a group of more than 70 Bentleys travelling the length and breadth of Britain throughout June and July; a fabulous Gala Ball at the Savoy hotel re-created those heady early days of the Bentley Boys and their exploits. With a tour of Ulster in June and further trips to Europe and beyond, the year has been another time of enjoyment and gatherings for many members. |
