H-Town Classic and Dub Club only formed 18 months ago, but they are now in with a chance of winning Practical Classic Magazine’s UK Club of the Year Award.

150 clubs entered the award, which was then whittled down to 30, before being cut to the final 10.

H-Town organiser Felix Camfield-Walker said: “I’m truly amazed at how we’ve gone from a simple idea only 18 months ago to one of the top 10 clubs in the UK.

“Thank you to all who voted for us.”

“Hitchin is now officially and literally on the map in the classic car world.”

Judges from Practical Classics magazine will visit the 10 clubs at the end of June, with the winner being announced on Wednesday, August 7.

The club meets in Hitchin’s Market Place on the last Monday of every month, with the next meet set for April 29.
