Club of the month
1st October, 2020
The Deux Chevaux Club of Great Britain was founded in 1978 and aims to bring together the 2CV community to enjoy their shared passion. Affectionately known to all as '2CVGB', it is the UK National Club forming an umbrella organisation for over 50 affiliated local groups and is run by a committee of 15 members.
Owning a 2CV for some is a lifelong passion and the Club was formed by and for owners and enthusiasts of the 'ugly duck' and its cousins. Members who own, or are fans of, the following models are welcome but it is by no means an exhaustive list: Citroën 2CV and the other A-Series vehicles including the Dyane, Ami, Méhari and Bijou, and the commercial variants such as the Fourgonnette and the Acadiane.
The Club thrives on social interaction, and even though meet-ups have been greatly reduced this year there's still many reasons to become a member! So, whether you want to be an 'armchair member' participating vicariously through its monthly magazine, or to make new friends, have exciting adventures in your 2CV, or just want some advice on your latest restoration project, benefits to becoming a member can include:
- Access to technical knowledge and an extensive archive of 2CV-related documents and second hand parts
- A copy of monthly magazine, 2CVGB News
- An online community forum dedicated for members
- The opportunity to attend social events and rallies including an annual National Rally and a Registers’ Open Day
- A range of discounts including up to 25% off classic car insurance for club members with Lancaster Insurance.
Julian Kettleborough, Chairman at 2CVGB, comments: "We're really pleased to hear we've been nominated as club of the month. It's been a challenging year for many car clubs with the postponement and cancellation of so many events and it's really great to share some positive news with our members. Thanks for your continued support to our club which continues to be appreciated by all."
