Our Lunchtime Bike Meet in April

Our Lunchtime Bike Meet’s have been very popular, so we are doing another one on Saturday 17 September. It’s a great opportunity to meet other riders, see their bikes and have lunch and a drink together as summer comes to and end. All motorcycles and riders welcome.

We’ll be holding a collection for Thames Valley Air Ambulance.

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

See here for details for the venue.

We will have our Branch stand at the Swallowfield Show on Sunday 28 and Monday 29 August 2022 with a display of Triumph bikes. So if you are going to the show, come along to our stand and say hello. We are in the “Classic Car” area.

If you are a Branch member and are displaying your bike on our stand, remember you need to inform us before hand and be there at 9.00am and follow signs for Classic Cars.

We’ll have our Branch Stand at two different events simultaneously on the weekend 14 August.

British Super Bikes – Round 6 – Thruxton

This year, for the first time, we will have our Branch Stand at the British Superbike race meeting at the iconic Thruxton circuit. We will be there for the whole weekend from Friday to Sunday. So if you are going to the Thruxton BSB meeting, why not drop in on us at our stand. See here for more details of the British Super Bikes Thruxton race meeting from the organisers.

Popham Megameet

We will also have our Branch stand at the Motorcycle Megameet at Popham Airfield on the Sunday as we do every year. This combination of bike show, motorcycle jumble with traders is huge and is very popular. See here for more details of the Megameet from the organisers.

We’ll be having a BBQ on Thursday 14 July 2022 starting at 7.30pm at the BCSA for Branch members and their guests instead of our usual weekly club night. It will be held outside at the BCSA where we normally meet. Drinks will be served at the bar as usual.

This event is organised by the Thames Valley Branch of the BSA Owners Club

Berkshire TOMCC plan to have a pitch at this event and a number of Branch members plan to attend.

The Old Motorcycle Gathering, our show for old bikes, will be held this year on Saturday 11 June 2022  at the Burghfield Community Sports Association (BCSA), James Lane, Burghfield, RG30 3RS. This is near junction 11 of the M4 and is where we hold our Thursday 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 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.

The national Annual General Meeting (AGM) of the overall Triumph Owners Motor Cycle Club (TOMCC) will be held on 10 April 2022 and is being hosted by the Berkshire Branch at our normal venue for club nights and shows, the BCSA.

Any TOMCC member can attend the AGM on Sunday (remember to bring your membership card). We will also be holding a bike meet on the Saturday, a social event with drinks, food and skittles Saturday evening and overnight camping onsite Saturday evening with breakfast on Sunday morning before the AGM.

You can camp with a tent, camper van or caravan for free. So why not come for the whole weekend? If you want to camp, please let us know by clicking on the button below.
