The SOC was founded in July 1958, and currently has more than 700 members scattered world-wide, with sections in Australia (point of contact is Graham Burgess - contact details tba), New Zealand, and South Africa. In the UK we have sections in the North, North West, Midlands, South West, Wales, Scotland, London area and East Midlands, with regular local meetings in most areas.
The Club caters for the owners of all Shipley-built Scotts (1908/9 to 1950), Birmingham-built Aerco Jig and Tool Co machines (1954-1972), and the Derby-built Silk motorcycle, although Silk spares are not generally available from the Club.

Various services are available to members, including:
