Announcements about Branch activities
Mick Bennett will be giving an illustrated talk on his epic ride on his Bonneville along the legendary Route 66 from Chicago to Los Angeles. Mick and a group of friends had their bikes shipped out to Chicago in advance and then rode them on an adventure across the USA. Mick will be talking and showing photos from his trip to Branch members and their invited guests at the BCSA on 9 October 2025 from 8pm.
We’ll be holding our annual quiz night at our Thursday Club Night on 6 November 2025 at the BCSA.
Once again, quiz master, Bob Cromwell will be testing our knowledge with questions on motorcycle related topics and general knowledge. Prizes will be awarded at the end of the evening for the winning team.
You don’t have to form a team in advance, just come along. Teams often get formed on the night, typically around three or four people each. You can also participate as an individual if you want. It’s a great way to get to know other people and have a fun evening.
See here for some photos of last year’s quiz.
Proceedings will kick off around 8.30pm so get there before that so you can get your team together and get yourself a drink from the bar.
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.
We’ll be emailing all Branch members about this nearer the time and updating this page to give further details.
In the meantime, make a note in your diary to make sure you’re able to come, and click here to see some photos of last years event.
We will have our Branch stand at the Swallowfield Show on Sunday 24 and Monday 25 August 2025 with a display of Triumph bikes. So if you are going to the show, come along to our stand and say hello. We will be in the “Classic Car” area.
If you are a Branch member and want to display your bike on our stand, remember you need to inform us before hand, so please get in touch.

We are having a Lunchtime Bike Meet on Saturday 27 September 2025 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 NABD (the National Association for Bikers with a Disability), which is a charity which assists disabled people to ride motorcycles, particularly helping to make necessary adaptations to bikes to make this possible. See here for more information about the NABD.

The Old Motorcycle Gathering, our show for old bikes, will be held this year on Saturday 28 June 2025 at the Burghfield Community Sports Association (BCSA), James Lane, Burghfield, RG30 3RS.

This show is for all bikes classed as “Historic” vehicles by the DVLA, which currently means bikes manufactured before 1985. 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.

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.
