Who Are The BATS?

Join Us!

The British Automotive Touring Society, or BATS, was conceived in 2004 by a few good friends in Moore County, NC, who shared a passion to drive, and often repair, classic British cars.  The rules of the club were simple then and remain so today.  To enjoy our little British cars with no rules, dues, and a minimum of scheduling ('shed-YULE-ing').  We focus our gatherings around group drives in the beautiful countryside of NC to eateries, breweries, wineries and often ice creameries!  We also like to support local events, such as holiday parades and charity functions.  With currently over 100 members in the club from all over Moore County and beyond, we remain a close group of friends who share passion for open roads, the smell of leather and oil, electrical fault diagnosis, and fine food and libation.  If you would like to join us, please use the login button to create an account and request membership.  Or you can contact the BATS president at ncbatsclub@gmail.com with any questions.
