This show is for all bikes classed as “Historic” vehicles by the DVLA, which currently means bikes manufactured before 1982. 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 a £2 charge to enter your bike in the show for judging.
There is no entry charge to come along and bring your bike, if it is not entered in the show for judging.
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.
We will be holding a collection for Thames Valley Air Ambulance.
A wide range of food and drink will be on sale at the bar.

Our Lunchtime Bike Meet in October was a very popular so we have decided to do it again. It’s a great opportunity to meet other riders, see their bikes and have lunch and a drink together as we start the new riding season. All motorcycles and riders welcome.
See here for details of the venue.

The 2022 Branch Annual General Meeting (AGM) will be held on:
Thursday 10 February 2022 8.30pm
It will be held at the BCSA as part of our weekly club night. The AGM will start 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.
See the following links for more information.
The branch will be hosting a bring & buy sale at the BCSA on Thursday 13 January 2022 from 8:00pm to around 10.00pm
This is the ideal opportunity for you to have a clearout of all those motorcycle related items in your garage that you no longer need and make a little pocket money at the same time!
Plus, you might also pick up the odd item from another member which you will find useful!
Just turn up with your stuff and lay it out on table in the bar and see if anyone wants to buy it.
Wander round and look at what else is on offer .
Remember, one man’s rubbish is another man’s treasure.
Food, drink and endless chat about motorbikes on offer as on all other Thursday club nights.
Some photos below of the last bring & buy sale we held at the beginning of 2020.
On the Thursday 16 December we will be having a Christmas special evening at our club night starting at 8pm at the BCSA.
