Anyone else thinking about joining us at our September meeting?

STOP THINKING & START BOOKING - deadline 31st August.

To help us speed up your entry onto the site and reduce congestion on the road outside, especially on Friday evening & Saturday morning:

  • Would everyone please arrive at the gate with you wrist bands on and visible.
  • Drivers please ensure your car parking pass is visible in your car/motorhome window as you arrive.
    If you don't have a vehicle pass then you will have to find a parking spot on the road. This is a stipulation of the Alex Moulton Charitable Trust who own the estate, NOT your club.
  • Motorhome /caravaners please display your camping pass in your motorhome / caravan window.
  • Tent campers, would you peg out your camping pass with one of your tent pegs.
    If you can help us by doing as requested above it will make everyone’s life a little bit easier on the day.

Bequeathed Moultons for sale at BoA 2018

Four Moulton bicycles have been bequeathed to the Moulton Bicycle Club.

Originally owned & ridden by Henry Wyre Sutcliffe, who passed away in the mid ‘90s.

They were stored in his son's garage but not ridden until he, Paul Anthony Wyre Sutcliffe, passed away last year. Information provided by the executors of Paul's Will.

They have been stored on deflated tyres for many years, but the inner tubes still hold air. All the bikes appear complete and should be ready to ride after varying amounts of maintenance. All sold as seen, no warranty given or implied.

 

These bikes will be auctioned during the club weekend this September. Each will have a reserve price (yet to be determined), if they don’t reach the reserve price they will be sold via eBay the following week.

All the proceeds from the sale will go to the club funds.
