WELL DONE, WITLEY
Witley and District Motor Cycle Club members and associates were invited to a special reunion event at the Rural Life Living Museum in celebration of the club’s centenary in June. Nearly 200 past and present members came along to enjoy a day of renewing old friendships and making new ones, talking motorcycling, browsing memorabilia, and visiting the rest of the museum, along with a complimentary buffet lunch. The presence of so many enthusiasts made for a truly memorable occasion.
Over 30 holders of the Silver Badge for service to the club were among those in attendance, and at presentation time, Bernard Jay received his Gold Badge for 50 years’ continuous membership. Also on site were over 40 motorcycles of all sizes, types and ages – from 1927 to 2023 – and the organisers are particularly grateful to all those who provided these machines for everyone to enjoy.
Witley and District MCC has a long, rich history; 100 years of motorcycle sport in Surrey, Sussex and Hampshire. Only a handful of motorcycle clubs still functioning in the UK can claim to be as old as or older than Witley MCC. The club has an enviable record of success in running popular, off-road sporting events and the club’s regular participation in International Six Days Enduro is a particular focus. The competitive ethos of the club is complemented by an enthusiastic road riding section, and we also run several popular social events each year.
Thank you to all of our members and supporters, past and present, who have been such a vital part of our club’s legacy. Details of our sporting and other events may be found at witleymcc.org
