THE 15TH REGIS TAP (CLASSIC TOUR & PICNIC)

SUNDAY 7TH SEPTEMBER 2025 – AFTERNOON VENUE NOW REVEALED!

Bognor Regis Motor Club are delighted to announce the dates and confirmed venues for the Regis TAP 2025.  The event will again be generously sponsored by Hardy Engineering of Leatherhead and is included in the HRCR Scenic Tours Calendar for the 15th year.

The Tour will continue to fundraise for Kent, Surrey & Sussex Air Ambulance and have already donated over £63,000 to this amazing cause from 13 of the past 14 previous events. The 14 Regis TAP Tours have now raised over £75,880 for charity.

The entry has been open to new participants from Saturday 11th January 2025 on-line at www.bognor-regis-mc.co.uk.  We have been thrilled with the response and with 6 months to go, only 4 places still available before we open the reserve list.

The start will be at Great Ballard School, Eartham near Chichester where breakfast butties & tea/coffee will be available.  There will be time to collect roadbooks and chat with previous and new participants before cars leave the start from 10.01.  From here cars will travel using the descriptive tulip roadbook to Shamley Green Estate, near Cranleigh where Rob & Claire Merriman will welcome you to their delightful Deer Park and beautiful Gardens. This will be our Bring your Own Picnic venue. Our fee for this visit is being donated to National Garden Scheme charities.

After enjoying the views and planting the tour will then proceed to the workshops of Bill Rawles Classic Cars near Alton for a visit around the workshops and Tea & Home-made cake served by Four Marks WI (So we know the cake will be good).

 

The final leg of the tour will return to Ditcham Park Farm near Petersfield courtesy of Jeremy & Margaret Oates from around 16.30 first car, where Matt’s Hog Roast will serve a delicious roast meat roll.  A raffle will be run to raise more funds for our chosen charity. Please bring your own picnic chairs, plastic glasses and anything you’d like to drink.

Entry fee will be held at £135.00 for a crew of two, this will include: entry fees to all venues, breakfast butties, afternoon tea and roast meat roll at the finish. A professionally produced Tulip Roadbook, rally plate, window stickers and a small commemorative gift per person, plus the services of our wonderful team of marshals. We are delighted to announce that Brit Assist will again provide breakdown cover (not recovery) during the event. Additional crew members up to the number of seats in the vehicle will be charged £65.00.  £12.50pp will be donated to Kent, Surrey, Sussex Air Ambulance.

 

The entry is open to all 4 wheeled cars and light commercial vehicles registered before 31stDecember 1995.  Entries will be considered from later interesting future classics.

 

Entry is limited to 90 classic cars plus 10 reserves.

 

Please read the Regulations before you enter.  There is no element of speed on the tour, however, the venues will be open for a specified limited period to ensure smooth travel during day.  You do not need to be a member of any Motor or Marque Club but must have a full UK driving licence and ensure you have adequate insurance, an MOT & Road Tax (if required) to take part.   

 

A final note:  You will need to put a password into the entry form – please, please, please write it down and keep it somewhere safe.  You will need it again, if you need to amend your entry and also to sign-on nearer the time.  There will be a £5.00 fee that will be donated to KSSAA for failure to remember it this year.  On the 2024 Tour there were at least 20 participants who didn’t bother to note it down and Jill our Entries Secretary had 20 additional actions to sort out during the busiest period of the event in the last week.  This is important so please get organised!

 

The experienced team from Bognor Regis Motor Club look forward to seeing you in September if not before.

 

The Club are very grateful to:
