Banbury 2023

The weather was kind, at least for most of the day. With around 300 entries spectators were able to marvel at some of the best and most unusual motorcycles of a bygone era. We were also favoured by Henry Cole and his production team who filmed the event as well as capturing him on his 1923 Calthorpe and Allen Millyard riding the club's Dreadnought. Watch out for his series, Shed and Buried, on Channel 4 this autumn.
