Berkhamsted
Motorcycle Club
Founded
in 1908 The Berkhamsted Motorcycle & Car Club is one of the oldest
still in existence. In those early years the pioneering membership
was a keen group of local enthusiasts when motor sport was just becoming
recognised as a serious sport. Club members have included many champions
in all branches of motor sport on two, three or four wheels.
The list of membership
down the years reads like a Who's Who of motorsport, including Sidney
Allard who designed and built Allard Cars, a highly successful competitor
in car sprints and hill climbs in the immediate post war period including
winning his class in the Monte Carlo rally as a Berkhamsted member.
At Brooklands in its hey day a team of Berkhamsted Club motorcycle
riders collected the top team honours three years running.
Some of the events the club organises are held in aid of a local charity
or similar organisation. As long ago as 1934, the club ran a speed
hill climb in aid of Chesham Old Peoples Outing Fund, with a similar
event at Tring, which boosted the towns Nursing Association. West
Herts Hospital benefited in 1939 from a speed trial held at Markyate
by kind permission of Sir Giles and Lady Sebright.In post-war years
the club has continued to help the local community. For instance,
the club bought a replacement ambulance and other equipment for St.
John Ambulance Brigade who are often seen providing first aid at many
sports and other public events.In more recent years the club has been
involved in organising many motorcycle events.
Every year the club runs a charity motorcycle trial at our home venue
of Nash Mills, Kings Langley, Herts.Significant donations have been
provided to the Auto-Cycle Union’s Benevolent Fund, Sportaid, the
Dacorum branch of MIND, The Hospice of St Francis & Macmillan
Nurses. This event is partly organised to encourage new members to
join the club and as a social event with a barbecue and refreshments
being served during a warm summers evening. It’s a relatively easy
course set out to suit most levels of ability, especially beginners.
Look out for this year’s event, a fund-raising Tuesday evening on
the 13th June, starting at 6.30pm.
The Club is a founder member of the Meteor Group of
Trials Clubs, annually running nine, weekend trials, 3 evening trials
and 2 Beginners events as well as a number of Social events. In motorcycle
trials riders try to negotiate difficult sections of uneven land without
stopping, dismounting or putting their feet down. A sport of skill,
proving very popular with riders and spectators alike.
The Club runs some of our Trials at our own practice ground, which
is open throughout the year for Club members who pay an additional
fee. Our practice ground is situated on the side of the Grand Union
Canal, near Kings Langley. We also use another piece of land at Great
Brickhill, off the A5, just south of Milton Keynes. Our Trials here
are set out in a wooded gully, usually continuing through the wood
and onto a sand pit.
When you join the Berkhamsted Motorcycle & Car Club
you will receive a club membership card which remains valid for 12
months, and, if you pay the small supplement fee, a key for the practice
ground which is available to be used by members most days of the year
until 8.00 pm in the evening.Monthly you will be sent a copy of the
club newsletter, The Goat Herd Gazette. So why hesitate?! A Membership
form is available in a downloadable format or by contacting the Club
membership Secretary via the link provided.
Obviously, a club with
over 250 members needs to have rules, we are no exception. Should
you wish to join us you would be expected to agree to participate
as an Observer at 1 event each year, However, you can nominate someone
to do it for you.
If you or your nominee need training in the practice of Observing
that can also be arranged at no cost and minimal effort on your part.
Finally, we must stress that our home
venue of Nash Mills is licensed only for TRIALS
type motorcycles which are properly maintained and run in accordance
with current legislation. We look
forward to speaking to you about motorcycle sport and welcome your
enquiry.
