  3. Big Bike Sunday 2017

    Posted on

    Following a hugely successful event last year, which raised over £4800 for charity, the Girder Fork and Classic Motorcycle Club is holding another show this year.
     
    The event is where classic and modern motorcycles are shown by their owners, hoping to be awarded the best in class or best in show. There were over 100 motorcycles on show last year, covering 100 years of manufacture.  
     
    The show is open to all owners of 2 and 3 wheeled motorcycles, from 50cc mopeds to trikes powered by car engines. The wider the variety, the better the show.
     
    The money raised this year will go to our 3 chosen charities: Manorlands, Yorkshire air ambulance and Blood bikes (who help the NHS by transporting blood and donor organs around the country).
     
    The show opens to the public at 12 noon and the presentation of prizes will be held at approximately 3pm. Exhibitors’ motorcycles should be in place by 11.30am.
     
    There will be refreshments and stalls available and the event can be under cover if the weather is inclement.

    June 25th - Skipton Auction Mart  (BD23 1UD)
     
    £3 entry for adults (accompanied under 16’s are free)
