Description

Mark Wilsmore from Ace Café talks to Dev about this unique and special venue and the excitement that surrounds it.

They discuss the range of car meets that take place at the Café and how those with a common interest in cars like to get together and both talk and brag about their vehicles.

As a venue, the Ace café hosts a number of different car and bike club meets every week and also organises track days and road trips.

With a great mix of passionate owners, vehicles, live music and food the venue has experienced a great deal and Mark shares some of his experiences and discusses how things work at the Ace Café

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• People love to brag about their cars and share them with other people
• It's a major operation to get everything ready to open again and we are looking forward to having everyone back again.
• Society is shaped by the largest demographic so what was acceptable years ago, racing around a track is no longer possible because of the laws around safety
• We manage our space according to laws but we work with other organisations to try and manage the space outside around us
• There was nothing between big commercial meets and race days and getting together in a pub car park
• We were the first to offer something that bridges the gap and meets the demand for people to be able to get together
• You can go and see cars, hear live music and eat at the Ace Café car meets
• We have everything from modified scooters through to Jenson Interceptors
• We do road trips to Southend, Brighton and Margate, usually in the spring and hope to do this again next year.
• There is a common interest in cars and people who are interested in cars want to get together
• There will be changes as things move forward and we expect to host more electric cars
