Scramblers, the official membership of Bicester Heritage, will launch a new structure and benefits offering for 2024, focusing on bringing its members closer to the thriving hub of automotive activity.
The changes will come into effect in January, but 12-month membership is available to new and existing members.
Scramblers’ events calendar has been refreshed, focusing on four Sunday morning gatherings at Bicester Heritage available only to Pegasus members, the premium tier of Scramblers. Members will continue to receive free entry and they will have exclusive access to additional passes. Each Pegasus member will receive a free coffee, too.
The four events will be spread throughout the year around the three main Scrambles, and once again feature central themes. Motorsport is the first, on Sunday 31 March at Bicester Heritage, followed by The Euros on the day of the Euro 2024 final, Sunday 14 July, the German-themed Oktoberfest on Sunday 29 September and the annual Christmas event, Festive Four-Wheelers, capping the year on Sunday 15 December.
Other benefits include early access to Scramble tickets, with a 10% reduction on the member’s ticket, plus priority parking, exclusive display parking ballot, dedicated enclosure access at each Scramble, discounts at specialists and partners of Bicester Heritage and additional events including at least two ‘Evening Withs’ throughout the year.
StarterMotor, the charity based at Bicester Heritage that promotes the classic car industry to young people, will continue to receive £5 from every Pegasus membership.
Merlin membership, a secondary tier of Scramblers launched in 2022, will be consolidated into Pegasus, and its benefits including social track and photography mornings will be opened to all premium members.
Daniel Geoghegan, Bicester Motion CEO, said: “The world moves quickly with Scramblers. Its doors opened barely three years ago, and tens of thousands have stepped through to join us behind the scenes of our home, Bicester Heritage.
“A year later, full membership launched and we are looking to start 2024 by bringing our valued members a truly inclusive experience. The membership has reached a point where it is clear we need to offer more, so starting from 1 January that is exactly what we will do.”
Pegasus membership costs £69 and is available from scramblers.bicesterheritage.com.
