Meetings

commencing at 8p.m. During the summer months meetings are held
at different venues around the local countryside. For part of
the year lunchtime noggin' and natter meetings are held at local
hostelries, usually on the last Sunday of the month, although
these are suspended during the summer in preference to more major
events. For more information see Events
page.
Shows
During the
first Sunday of June each year, the Society holds a large auto
jumble and classic car show in the grounds of the Queen Elizabeth
Country Park, at Hilhampton Bottom, adjacent to the A3 approximately
3 miles South of Petersfield. Those members who show their classic
cars and help to set up the show get free entry.
Affiliation
The
Society is a member of the Federation
of British Historic Vehicle Clubs but otherwise it has no
permanent affiliation with any particular motor manufacturer although
many members also belong to single marque clubs. So all types
of vehicles are catered for providing they are over 25 years old.
However, it is not necessary to own an old vehicle to belong to
the Society - anyone with an interest in by-gone road transport
is welcome to join. Members' current interests range from Victorian
bicycles to cars, motorcycles, vans and lorries of various ages.
Benefits
Although the Society is not affiliated to any particular
car marque, SHVPS members share a wide range of mechanical and
electrical engineering skills, which are aired at regular meetings
and events, often identifying long sought after solutions to difficult
problem
