This is the official website for our club in West Dorset but welcomes members from all other areas. We are a small club of about 350 members who meet once a month to socialise, share experiences and arrange club activities. We meet at the 'Colliton Club, Colliton Park, off Glyde Path Road, Dorchester, near Dorchester Library on the 2nd Friday of each month at 8.00pm. Free car parking is available outside the club. PLEASE NOTE MEETINGS ARE NOT HELD IN JUNE, JULY & AUGUST. The 2nd full weekend in June is when the club holds its Annual Rally at West Bay near Bridport (15 miles west of Dorchester).

The rally is not the only activity the members enjoy. As well as common interests which  are all things vintage, tractors, stationary engines, steam engines, commercial vehicles, cars, motor cycles, etc, etc. There is a social side to activities where members meet up throughout the year. The club has grown since being formed in 1976 and has its own constitution.  The clubs  healthy social life consists of monthly meetings, occasional outings  to places of interest for all the family, a Christmas Dinner & Dance, a barbecue and as many other activities as the club can organise.

Club meetings start with a short formal session which rarely goes beyond 20-30minutes. Members are encouraged to have an input at meetings. Those attending are always asked if they have any point to raise. A monthly raffle draw takes place and then goes on to the main presentation of the evening. We have speakers and presentations on all sorts of diverse subjects, such as beekeeping, shipwrecks, London Fire Brigade, as well as members giving slide and film presentations on rallies, places they have visited, etc.
