It’s beginning to feel like Autumn out there, but the Douglas Club’s Surrey and Hampshire section still has a few runs in the calendar. The next one is on Sunday the 22nd of September to the Rural Life Museum in Tilford near Farnham, GU10 2DL. There’s a lot to see there including a light railway – and a cafe, of course!
News & Events
Popham Mega Meet – Sunshine and Douglases
Thanks to everyone who turned out for the Popham Mega Meet. Ten Douglases spanning the years from the early ’30s to the late ’50s made an impressive display, and included a rare model D33. Always great to see unusual machines out on the road, where they belong.

August Meet – Popham Airfield
Sunday morning, 4th August sees the Douglas Club’s Surrey & Hants Section’s visit to the Popham Motorcycle Mega Meet at Popham Airfield, SO21 3BD. The Section will have a stand there, so come along and join us. It’s August, so the weather’s bound to be good – isn’t it?
Founder’s Day, 21st July
One of my favourite events of the vintage and classic year, the VMCC’s Taverners Section’s rally, takes place on the 21st of July. The venue is Stanford Hall, near Lutterworth in Leicestershire, as usual.
The London Douglas MCC will have our usual stand there, so please come along, have a chat and admire the machines!

Apart from being a good day out, the Founder’s Day rally also features an excellent auto-jumble – I invariably come home with more ‘stuff’ I didn’t know I needed! Fingers crossed for the weather …
Racing Down to Goodwood
The historic Goodwood racing circuit is the venue for the Douglas Club’s Surrey/Hants Section’s next social meeting, on Sunday June 9th. Meeting time is 12 noon as usual and, if your Douglas is equipped with a satnav, the postcode is PO18 0PX! Head for the Aerodrome club cafe – with views over the circuit.
Obviously, as it is June, the sun will be shining (!)
