The final outing of the season – unless we get an Indian Summer – is to Twyford Waterworks, an Edwardian pumping station in the heart of rural Hampshire near Winchester. 6th October is an open day with pumps and engines running, and the cafe will be open as well. Meeting time is 12 o’clock, as usual, and the waterworks are located at Hazeley Road, Twyford SO21 1QA.
News & Events
Sunday Run in Surrey
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!
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 …
