The club was formed in 1996 and we are affiliated to the British Motorcycle Federation. In the years since we have been formed our membership has grown from strength to strength and every year exceeds 150 members.
The club was formed to promote and encourage all forms of motorcycle activities. We try to cater for all our riders needs by organizing tours, attending race meetings, club ride-outs, treasure hunts, quiz nights and social evenings as well as guest speakers to our meetings.
We also undertake a lot of fundraising for local charities and over the past few years we have raised many thousands of pounds.
Carmarthen & District Motorcycle Club
In 2006 we staged the first ‘West Wales Motorcycle Show’ here in Carmarthen, where we had the support of major dealers. With attendance of approx 4000, we had a wonderful family fun day with a strong biking theme and were able to raise and donate £5130 to the Wales Air Ambulance
Members have also raised £7.000 for the Dyfed Army Cadets by riding from Lands End –John O’Groats and completed a round Wales run which raised over £3,000 for the Welsh Air Ambulance in 2002. Hundreds of pounds have also been raised for local special needs schools, animal sanctuaries, Guide dogs for the blind and many other causes. We hold our Easter egg ride outs to local hospitals every year and this is very popular with the members. 2007 saw the club host the second West Wales Motorcycle Show allowing the club to donate the sum of £6,000 to three charities, the Air ambulance, Ty Hafan Childrens Hospice and the Ferryside Inshore Life Boat. Our meetings are held every second Wednesday of the month at the Carmarthen Athletic club at 8.00pm and we always extend a warm welcome.
The club has its own bi-monthly newsletter, which comes out both by email, on this website and for those not ‘on-line’ a snail mail version is available on request. This keeps the members up to date and informed of what’s happening and what’s planned for the coming months. As the club motto says NO STRANGERS ONLY FRIENDS YOU HAVE NEVER MET.
