About Us
Welcome to the BVPG website. Here at Blackpool Vehicle Preservation Group (BVPG) we are a group of vehicle enthusiasts.
Established
in 1982, we are not just a classic car club, many of us own vehicles other than cars and some do not
own a
vehicle but have a keen interest in the motoring world.
If you share our interest, please come along to a club meeting or event and meet some friendly,
like minded
people, click "Latest News" for forthcoming events.
Each year we have an Annual General Meeting in October, this includes voting in our committee
members for the following 12 months, you can see our current committee members on the
left and details for those who you may need to contact are listed below (see our
Contact section).
If you have any questions about our group, please do not hesitate to call our Chairperson,
Bill
Swindlehurst.

which are proving more and more popular year on year
