As part of a new series, we’re taking a closer look at some of the brilliant car clubs that make our shows so incredible. This week we caught up with Oval Owners Club ahead of Ford Fair Silverstone.
As we gear up for the 2025 instalment of Ford Fair, we caught up with the 2024 Club Hero winner, Advan Jenkins, to talk all things Oval Owners Club for whom he is proudly an admin for. And for 2025, the club is aiming to equal last year’s 170 club cars at Silverstone come August 10th, making it one of the biggest clubs at the show.
When was the Oval Owners Club founded?
On a very cold 14th January, 2017, on a now demolished Pub called the Darlaston Inn in Stone, all our meets are held monthly in Festival Park.
How many members does the club have?
- Facebook – 16k
- Instagram – 11.4k
- TikTok – 6k
Which models does the Oval Owners Club cater for?
We cater for all Fords, from a Fiesta all the way up to a 1700t, we are lucky to have some very nice cars in the group. Everyone is welcome!
What does the club offer new members?
Being part of the group means you can attend events on our club stand, take part in driveouts and attend our monthly meet, held at Autobrite, our club’s sponsor. We’ve also thrown the occasional Christmas party, too, which you can look forward to!
We also offer a Club Classics night in Leek throughout the summer for pre-2000 cars. It’s a joy to see all the older, iconic cars come out.
What shows and events does the club usually attend?
We attend all the large Ford shows so you can be sure to see us at one of the many events this summer. These events include:
- We have almost 150 cars on display at Ford Fair this year and we are going to Trax and FordFest too.
- We also attend Ford National day & RSOC national day
- We also try to attend some smaller shows locally in Stoke
- We try to do a couple of run outs to Wales as well across the year
What’s the best thing about being a member of the Oval Owners club?
Honestly, being in the club is like being a part of a family. There are no judgements on the car you drive, we cater for all enthusiasts. If you want to come take photos you can, if you want to catch up with likeminded people and get advice or tips, you can do that too. All our events are static so you don’t have to worry about any accidents or anti-social behavior.
Sum up the club in 3 words
Passionate, family oriented and LARGE.
Where do you see the Oval Owners club in five years?
We’re already one of the largest groups in the Ford scene, but we see the club continuing to grow, welcoming more and more members. This year we’ve collaborated with Autobrite to launch our very own product through the detailing firm. We also now host monthly meetings at Autobrite Direct.
