Classic Motorcycle Day on Sunday 2nd July 2017

[lambers]

Hi,
I've emailed a couple of people in your club but got nowhere, so I was hoping one of you can help me.
I'm in the Vincent Owners Club and we are helping the Tramway Museum in Crich, Derbyshire to run a 'Classic Motorcycle Day on Sunday 2nd July 2017'
It's a one day event at the Tramway Museum on Sunday 2nd July 2017 and all exhibitors enter for free, which includes full access to the museum.
People can enter individually and/or owners clubs can have a stand and registration is via www.tramway.co.uk, starting in January.
All I need is a single point of contact so we can invite your club, that is presuming your club would be interested
We have a Facebook page for the event, called 'National Tramway Museum Classic Motorcycle Day' which we want people to look at and that will have most things on it and all the updates, plus anyone can ask questions on there.
I hope this is enough information for the time being and hope you are interested.
Can you let me have a single point of contact for your club.
Regards
Jon Lambley
Vincent Owners Club ( East Midlands )

this is interesting,

 Derby is fairly central,

 what do others think

I would be in as long as the date works around holidays - the wife hasn't planned that far ahead yet!

[Rozabikes Tim]

Live about 8 miles from there. Happy to act as contact if required.

 looking even more likely ,

Thanks for the replies everyone. When you decide if you are coming/interested, can your nominated single point of contact drop me an email to lambley705@gmail.com and we'll go from there.
Thanks
Jon

Here is a flyer for the event as well guys. Feel free to post on your facebook page or put it in your club magazine.
Remember we are on Facebook, just search for 'National Tramway Museum Classic Motorcycle Day'

That could be useful, thanks for the offer.
Anyone else possibly interested or got any other comments or thoughts?
There have been various comments made about meeting up at some point - here is an opportunity with the likelihood of other interesting bikes to look at.

[Nurse Julie]

Yes, thanks for offering Tim and yes Chris, could be another opportunity for some forum members to meet up.

[Rozabikes Tim]

Can I suggest we offer up ideas of what we could do? Shall we simply have a stand and show off our shiny bikes as a group?

If we post some ideas, we can then hopefully agree on a format. Knowing this, we could  then register for the show knowing our requirements.

This all assumes enough genuine interest that people will commit to.....

Tim

[Nurse Julie]

Sounds good. This is all assuming it's FOC  . Has anyone told Jon that we are not actually a 'club' but a forum (a very well supported one though)?

[Johnwebley]

    I would like to attend,never been to that part of the world,

    so will pencil it in the diary

[Rozabikes Tim]

Julie - contacted Jon on your points. Its free to all exhibitionists -(including any stand space) and no issue with us being a forum, not a club

Should we take Tim up on his kind offer and get him to register on our behalf?
As to format I would be happy with Tim's suggestion i.e. to show off our shiny bikes as a group (have to get the polish out then).
If we are as a group it sort of feels as if we should have some sort of identifying logo.
I quite like the 'Dawn of the Superbike Era' logo that is shown on the merchandise page of the US site.
Unfortunately my image modifying skills don't extend to tweaking this to suggest a UK version.
Any other thoughts?

[Johnwebley]

I agree,

  this is more than just a forum ,it has the feel of a club,although being  internet based and distance between members being an issue,
 in 2015 we (some forum members ) made an effort and met at the VJMC Sammy Miller museum,next year this could be "our" annual
club meet !!! only being near Derby should/could attract different members,
 living in the west midlands  am lucky enough not to be to far from lots of places,so would enjoy going to a meet up again,

 as for the Logo,I will go with the flo !!!
