The theme this year is pre-war cyclemotors i.e. anything made before 1939.

The Sammy Miller Motorcycle Museum houses a huge collection of motorcycles of all descriptions, including some that will be of interest to NACC members. Nick Devonport spent a fascinating day there earlier this year. There’s something for the racing enthusiast and touring people, from the dawn of motorcycling to more modern machines. You might catch a glimpse of the great man himself as he’s still restoring bikes and is often found in the workshop. Show your valid NACC membership card and you’ll get 10% off your entrance fee!

AT The British Commercial Vehicle Museum, Leyland. (Exit M6, JCT 28)

We all look forward to meeting you once again ! We anticipate this show to be even busier and brighter than last year’s event. Machines will be arriving from around 9.00 a.m.,  the show opens at 10.00 a.m. with  VMCC members , Classic Motorcycle Club members, and individual owners all taking part.   A 1950s film covering club sports events and TT racing will be shown in the museum’s cinema.

No Entry Fee to participate in this show !

And, whilst your here . . . . Inside the museum we have two new exhibits with interesting stories to tell. A ‘cute’  1937 Morris GPO Telephones van, found living with chickens and their mess in a barn and  a 1938 Leyland touring coach which started life as a double-deck bus.  Kind Regards, Rick Roberton, Trustee, The British Commercial Vehicle Museum, King Street, Leyland, PR25 2LE Tel: 01772 451 011

From 1st April 2024 P4P Print Ltd. will change name and move to Keith Avis Printers Ltd. premises, Rear of 68 High Street, Hadleigh IP7 5EF. P4P took over Keith Avis Printers when Keith Avis decided to retire from his business.

The only notable change in the DVLA’s V765/3 guidance notes which dictate how all clubs should operate, is that “authorised clubs should inspect to MUST inspect.” It continues to be acceptable to delegate the inspection to “an appropriately knowledgeable person” Therefore from today’s date Phill will be unable to provide a dating certificate or complete the V765 process without a machine examination report. Obviously members cannot carry out their own examination, but “appropriately knowledgeable” is a very loose term and most people who have an interest in our types of vehicles are thus qualified.
