We would love for other sections and clubs to come and display their bikes as part of our Avenue of Clubs. Booking forms will be available in due course.

Banbury 2023

The weather was kind, at least for most ofnthe 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 caturing him on his 1923 Calthorpe and Allen Millyard riding the club's Dreadnought. What out for his series, Shed and Buried, on Channel 4 this autumn.
