Our winter time bring & buy sale was very popular, so this year we thought we’d do one in the summer as well. This will give us more space as we can be outside on the grass as well as inside in the bar.
So on Thursday 17 July 2025, we will having a bring and buy sale (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.
See here for photos of our Bring & Buy Sale in January 2025.
