Sunday 22nd June 2003

It was touch and go a first if we could go back to Prescott Hill due to its popularity with other Clubs and it being the Venue of many Hillclimb Championships. Only so many weekend throughout the year are available and as we left after last years event they where all booked up. Pugfest 02 at Prescott Hill was a huge success and the calls went out from members "Same again for Pugfest 03" Every one enjoyed the day and many members show piece cars found there way into popular car magazines as a result. So where should we go? We set off in search as always with a blank piece of paper and looked at many venues. The demands where high, we did not just want a Static Event this is the Peugeot Sport Club and members deserve more. Just when a suitable venue was found, we had a phone call. Prescott Hill had a cancellation, did the Peugeot Sport Club want it. The rest is History. Rest assured the committee has been working hard on the preparation of this event. It started a long time and will continue until the last members has left the venue, so please spare a little of your own time and effort on your club in helping out on the day or in its preparation. Track sessions are on offer at an affordable price for Non-competitive runs up this famous Hill Climb so you will be free to chose your own pace and have the Hill all to yourself to explore the limits of your car (and driving). We have an on site Licensed restaurant and this year due to demand they will be opening an extra terrace bar and various eateries selling burgers drinks and ice creams.
