Tamworth and District Classic Motorcycle Club

The Old Crown, Main Street, Wigginton, Tamworth. B79 9DW

Back in 1983, three friends Mick Hirons, Pete Middlemas and Mike Estall formed the Tamworth & District Classic Motorcycle Club. As one would expect, after the initial formation of the club, the membership fluctuated until finally settling down to a regular 80 or so members and it has remained in this region throughout the years.

This is not a club favouring any particular make or type of motorcycle, although originally it favoured British machines (and in the main still does) but anyone who has an interest in riding and preserving classic machines of yesterday is welcome, and there is no age limit on members, one or two have only recently passed their test, whilst there are quite a few "born again" riders, there is at least one member in his eighties who has ridden motorcycles since he passed his test at the age of 16. Most of the members have a wealth of experience behind them, and countless stories of the past. They are very happy to help each other with hints and tips on restoration work and frequently provide parts for each other. The strength of the club is twofold, firstly it has a dedicated and responsible committee who are prepared to sacrifice much of their spare time for the benefit of the club, and to work in harmony with other motorcycling clubs. Secondly: We go to great lengths to promote a good relationship with the general public, and for the good of motorcycling in general.

You don't need to own a classic bike, (or, even ride a motorcycle!) to be a member, in fact some of our members have no bike, while some only ride modern machines, but we all share the enjoyment of being around and involved with classic motorcycles.

Why not have a ride out on one of the club evenings and take a look at us - Our normal club nights are held on the Second and Fourth Monday every month. E-mail us from the home page for details of forthcoming events, ride outs etc.
