Last year we held a Bring & Buy sale in the summer in addition to our popular January Bring & Buy Sale. It was a great success, so we have have decided to do it again this year, but a little earlier in the year this time.

So on Thursday 21 May 2026, we will have a bring and buy (aka autojumble) sale for motorcycle related stuff at the BCSA at our Thursday club night, from 8pm to 10pm. So if you have any: motorcycle clothing, parts, tools, accessories or books that you no longer want, bring them along.

Just turn up with your stuff and lay it out on a table in the bar or on the lawn in front of the building and see if anyone wants to buy it.

Or just come along and browse through what is on offer. You might just grab a bargain.

Food, drink and endless chat about motorbikes is also on offer as on all other Thursday club nights.

The Old Bike Gathering, (also referred to as the Old Motorcycle Gathering) is 0ur show for old bikes. It will be held this year on Sunday the 28 June 2026 at the Burghfield Community Sports Association (BCSA), James Lane, Burghfield, RG 30 3RS from 11am to 4pm. This is near to junction 11 of the M4 and is where we hold our Thursday evening club nights. Click here to see the venue on a map.

This show is for all bikes classed as “Historic” vehicles by the DVLA, which currently means bikes manufactured before 1986. The show is open to all marques, but bikes must be ridden to the show. Prizes will be awarded for Best Foreign, Best British and Best Triumph as well as Best in Show.

There is no entry charge.

If you don’t have an old motorcycle, you can still come along on a modern bike. Just leave it in the car park while you look at the old bikes on the lawn.

A wide range of food and drink will be on sale at the bar.

A collection will be taken for Blood Bikes, which is a charity which uses volunteer bikers to deliver vital suppliers like blood to hospitals. See here for more information about Blood Bikes.

We are having a Lunchtime Bike Meet on Saturday 15 April 2026 from 11am to 4pm at the BCSA. It’s a great opportunity to meet other riders, see their bikes and have lunch and a drink . All motorcycles and riders are welcome. 

Hot food and drink will be on sale in the club house and the bar will be open.

A collection will be taken for the Thames Valley Air Ambulance, which is a charity which brings emergency hospital level care by land or air to people in the local area to give them the best chance when the worst happens.

John Bottomley will be giving a presentation to the TOMCC Berkshire Branch and invited guests on Thursday 5 March 2026, starting at 8pm at the BCSA.

John will chronicle the Inventions and Innovation necessary for the development of a motorcycle starting in 3400 BC and finishing in early 20th Century when the audience can then add their own knowledge and motoring experience . It is focused on motorcycles but does apply to cars. John will use a few examples of machines, but it is not a chronology of early bikes , or cars.

John is a former engineer and has ridden motorcycles off-road and on the track all his adult life. He also started the motorcycle team at Brooklands Museum. 

John gave an excellent presentation to us last year on GP Racing Development which was well attended and everybody enjoyed it. So we’re looking forward to another great evening with John.

The annual Reading Toy Run organised by Reading Christian Motorcyclists will be on Sunday 7 December 2025. As usual, we will be supporting this in various ways, with some of our members acting as Marshalls or supporting the event at the High Close School destination while others will be joining in the ride alongside thousands of other bikers in the area.

See picture above for information about the event from the organisers or see their Facebook page for the latest information.

We’re planning to make the last Thursday before Christmas on the 18 December a really special club night starting at 8pm at the BCSA. It’s open to all Branch members and their partners and there will be a complimentary buffet of festive food and Christmas music. The bar will be open as usual. We will be holding a raffle with some great prizes. So come along and enjoy a yuletide evening with fellow Branch members.

Note that Goring Lane is now open again which makes it easier for those coming from the M4 direction.

If you are a Branch member, you should have already received an invite like the one below by email.

If you are coming, you should already have replied to the email telling us so and whether you are bringing a partner. If you haven’t done so already, please do so and let us know and we may still be able to fit you in.

It will be a fun evening. Click here to see some photos of last years event.
