17th October 2014 Entries are now open for Pre-War Prescott 2015!
Welcome to Pre-War Prescott 2015! But first, sincere thanks to all those who attended and supported Pre-War Prescott 2014 in July, making it the best Pre-War Prescott yet, despite the Biblical downpours which did nothing to dampen our spirits!
Last year, we opened the website and entries in December, but we have already received so many enquiries from individuals and clubs that we decided to get things going sooner this year!
Pre-War Prescott affords entrants a rare and exciting opportunity to enjoy this historic hill without any of the formality and fuss of competition. No flame-proof overalls, catch tanks, helmets or racing licenses required. Passengers, including children, may be carried, and saloons are equally welcome to join in the fun.
Pre-War Prescott 2015 will take place on Saturday 18th July and will be the fifth running of this relaxed and hugely popular event which is now most definitely coming of age. Pre-War Prescott 2014 attracted around 180 vintage and pre-war cars, and we are expecting even more in 2015. And of course, spectators are very welcome! You may enter online, or download the entry form, complete it and post it with your payment – check out the Online Entry link above for both options. Every advance entry receives one free climb ticket, and more tickets may be purchased in advance and this year your entry will also include a free commemorative Programme. While climb tickets will possibly be available on the day, the hill was virtually fully booked before this year’s event, so we strongly recommend that you pre-book your climbs with your entry.
2015 also marks the 75th Anniversary of the Battle of Britain, and so we are planning an appropriately themed Battle of Britain Victory BBQ with live forties music in the evening at the Prescott Clubhouse on the hill. A memorable evening is definitely in store! More details will be posted here as plans develop, but for now, just remember to bring your silk scarf and goggles!
Pre-War Prescott has quickly become a significant international event, a key objective of which is to honour equally all those cars that survived World War Two. Many of our pre-war cars were used during the war and contributed materially to our victory. And many of us are now driving cars that were owned during the war by those who never returned, and whose sacrifice paid for the freedoms we enjoy today. To repay just a small part of our debt, the RAF Charitable Trust has been nominated as the official Pre-War Prescott charity, and we plan to make another substantial donation to the Trust in 2015.
Stop by this website regularly over the coming weeks and months to follow the unfolding plans for what will undoubtedly be one of the best vintage and pre-war motoring events of 2015.
