Royal Automobile Club

From WikiMD's medical encyclopedia

Introduction

The Royal Automobile Club is a British private club and is not to be confused with RAC, an automotive services company, which it formerly owned.

History

The Royal Automobile Club was founded in 1897 by Frederick Richard Simms, who became its first chairman. The club was originally named the Automobile Club of Great Britain. King Edward VII's interest in motoring led to the name being changed to the Royal Automobile Club in 1907.

Activities

The Royal Automobile Club is involved in a range of activities, which include running the annual London to Brighton Veteran Car Run, the historic motoring awards, the Motoring Book of the Year Awards, and a range of other transport-related activities.

Clubhouses

The Royal Automobile Club has two clubhouses: one in London at 89–91 Pall Mall, and the other in the countryside at Woodcote Park, Surrey, near Epsom.

Pall Mall Clubhouse

The Pall Mall clubhouse, the first clubhouse, was designed by Mewès and Davis and opened in 1911. It includes accommodation, dining and sporting facilities. The clubhouse was designated a Grade II* listed building in 1970.

Woodcote Park Clubhouse

The Woodcote Park clubhouse was opened in 1913, also designed by Mewès and Davis. It includes a golf course, swimming pool, other sporting facilities, a restaurant, bars and accommodation.

Membership

Membership of the Royal Automobile Club is by invitation only. Members are expected to abide by the club rules and to uphold its values.
