LOL.....Just goes to show how little you know of the history of this club.

THIS club that you are a guest of on this site is 60 years old this year and the OLDEST continually run club in Europe.

WE started the Shipley Rally 30 years ago and held OUR last one their in 2003 as we only allowed Harleys and Indians and the site (not the present one) could not cope with the large numbers.

We are now moving around the country for our yearly International rally this year being in Nottingham, next year The Lake district.

The local traders and a bike group took over the Shipley name and started running their new rally in 2004 at the present site. And as a lot of our members still like to go there we are from next year changing OUR dates so our members can do both.

Here endith the lesson.

BTW our club have been partying and rallying for 60 years.
