Lunchtime Bike Meet – 25 April 2026

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.

See here for details of the venue.

John Bottomley – Evolution of the motorcycle

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.

Reading Toy Run – Dec 2025

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.

Christmas Club Night 2025

The Christmas Club Night in 2024

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.

Bring & Buy Sale – 2026

We will be having a bring and buy (aka autojumble) sale for motorcycle related stuff at the BCSA on Thursday 15 January 2026 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 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.

Branch AGM 2026

The Branch committee at the 2025 AGM

The 2026 Branch Annual General Meeting (AGM) will be held on:

Thursday 12 February 2026 at 8.00pm

It will be held at the BCSA as part of our weekly club night. If you arrive around 8pm, you can get a drink from the bar, get a seat and sign in before the formal meeting starts at 8.30pm. All Branch members are welcome to come to the meeting where we review the last year, present the accounts, elect a new committee and discuss plans for the coming year. Branch members can vote, ask questions of the current committee, put forward propositions and join in the discussion. This is an opportunity for all Branch members to have a say in the plans for the Branch during the next year.

People standing for the committee must be full members of the Branch and must be nominated by two other full members at any of the Thursday club nights leading up to the AGM on the nomination sheet that is on the notice board by the bar.

Come along and have your say in how the club is run. Consider how you may be able to participate more in club activities.
