Newquay Auto Club
Newquay Auto Club was born in 1914 with the name "Newquay Motorcycle and Light Car Club." It can claim to be the first car club in the West Country and apart from the war years has remained active to the present day. In 1954 the Club changed its name to the more suited Newquay Motor Club, as the motor cycles had long gone. Then another name change occurred in 1974 when, like many other clubs, it incorporated and became the present "Newquay Auto Club Ltd."

Ariel Owners Motorcycle Club (Cornwall)
The AOMCC was formed at a meeting called for 3pm on Saturday 24 November 1951, at the famous Ace Café on the North Circular Road in London, by a small group of enthusiasts from the London area. A well-respected motor cycle journalist of the fifties (who used the pen name Nitor) wrote of it, "The Ariel Club is a vigorous club which truly spans the Globe." This is still a good description of the AOMCC There are many events held each year and, although vastly increased in size since its formation, the AOMCC remains an informal and friendly club. Subscriptions are kept as low as possible and all club officers are unpaid volunteers. There are branches throughout the UK, as well as 'social meets' and numerous overseas branches too. Being a branch member adds to the benefits of club membership but the unattached member is not forgotten. The Cornwall section meets at The Brewers Fayre, Penhale round, Fraddon first Friday 730pm -- Contact is Gilbert Dingle

Bikers Association of North Devon
B.A.N.D is a motorcycle club formed by a loose association of motorcyclists. We are a small friendly bunch dedicated to biking and socialising. We normally meet at about 8.30pm, at The Union Inn, Stibb Cross, although this may vary a little if a rideout has been arranged for that night, usually during the better weather. If the weather is poor, then the club still meets, although cars may be more plentiful than bikes. The important thing is to meet and socialise with friends. The website was new for September 2006 and is still being added to, so please visit often to see what is the latest to be added to the site. So, if you are interested in powered two wheelers and would like to get out on a Thursday night, occasional weekend and even motorcycling trips, then we would be delighted to hear from you.

Bath Classic Motorcycle Club
Bath Classic Motorcycle Club is a bunch of biking enthusiasts who enjoy a classic way of life. But what exactly is a classic bike? Who knows! - we certainly don’t appear to. That’s why if you attend many of our events you will see all sorts of bikes of all ages. Whilst our competitions (trials & scrambles) and some specific classic events are run for older bikes, entered in classes according to age and eligibility, many of the regular road runs are far more relaxed, with a variety of bikes, old and new being welcome. You would be suprised how many 'modern' bike riders who join us get sucked into the 'classic' way of life and eventually start looking for an older bike! We have members who have all sorts of classic European, American and Japanese bikes. Fancy joining us? Have a look round the website then come along to one of our regular meetings. If you enjoy anything to do with motorcycles you will find many kindred spirits amongst our members.
