Our Team at the Doghouse Owners’ Club

The Doghouse Owners’ Club is a long-established women’s motorsport club, founded in 1962. For more than six decades, the Club has brought together women whose lives have been shaped by motorsport, fostering friendship, support and fundraising across the motorsport community. The Club is run by a dedicated team of volunteers from within our membership and is supported by our President, Shirley Procter, and our respected Ambassadors. Together, they help preserve the Club’s heritage, develop the Club Archive, and ensure the Doghouse continues to thrive for future generations.

Friendship, Support and Heritage Since 1962

Our Committee is a team of volunteers dedicated to supporting the Club, its members and its future development, while preserving the traditions that have shaped the Doghouse Owners’ Club since its establishment in 1962. As a volunteer-led community, we are proud of our heritage and remain committed to the values of friendship, support and fundraising on which the Club was founded.

A key part of the Committee’s role is overseeing and coordinating our fundraising activities, enabling us to support meaningful causes while bringing together women whose lives have been shaped by motorsport. Alongside fundraising, the Committee organises a year-round programme of events, social gatherings and race meeting activities that create opportunities to share experiences, knowledge and friendship.

As we approach our 65th Anniversary, the Committee is also helping to preserve and develop the Club Archive. Through photographs, documents, memorabilia and personal recollections, we are preserving and celebrating the history of the Doghouse and the many individuals who have contributed to its success since 1962, ensuring their stories are not lost for future generations.

Our Ambassadors play an important role in representing the Doghouse Owners’ Club and strengthening our connections across the many disciplines of motorsport. As passionate advocates for women in motorsport, they champion the Club’s values, build relationships throughout the motorsport community and help inspire future generations to become involved in the sport.

Together, our Committee and Ambassadors serve as custodians of the Club’s heritage and champions of its future. By preserving our history while continuing to support today’s motorsport community, they help ensure the Doghouse Owners’ Club remains welcoming, relevant and true to its founding principles for generations to come.
