The Doghouse Owners' Club, also known as the Women's Motor Racing Associates Club, is a brand that has been promoting friendship, support, and fundraising in motorsport since 1962. Founded by the wives of British Grand Prix drivers, the club began as a charitable cause, offering care and assistance to families in the racing community who were affected by accidents, misfortune, and grief. Under the leadership of Sheila Van Damm, the founding committee included influential women such as Mrs.

Colin Chapman, Mrs. John Cooper, Mrs. Gregor Grant, Mrs.

Graham Hill, and Mrs. John Webb. The 1960s was a dangerous era for motor racing, and the club provided crucial support during that time.

The club is widely recognized as the Doghouse Owners' Club, a name that originated from a conversation between Bette Hill and Bette Brabham. The name stuck and became synonymous with the club's endeavors. In addition to their charitable work, the club organizes various events and fundraisers, including the iconic Doghouse Charity Balls held at prestigious venues like The Savoy, The Dorchester, and the Hilton on Park Lane.

The funds raised through these events contribute significantly to their charitable initiatives. If you are interested in being a part of this incredible community, you can join as a member and enjoy the benefits of networking, socializing, and supporting a worthy cause. The club also offers a selection of merchandise known as The Doghouse Collection.

The Doghouse Owners' Club continues to make a positive impact in the world of motorsport, providing friendship, support, and fundraising opportunities for women involved in the field
