The VMCC South Wales Section caters for all motorcycles with a minimum age of 25 years, regardless of make or country of origin. The section is one of 83 sections within the VMCC and was initially formed in April 1961 in the car park of the Andoversford Hotel by three members who need to be a section in order to receive the Team Award that they had just won in the Cotswolds Road Trial. There was an instant election amongst the three, of Chairman, Secretary and Treasurer - and the trophy was duly handed over.
A more democratic election took place at the next official meeting.

The section meets on the dates listed on the meeting dates page

in the Lounge. The dates are usually fortnightly on a Monday and the meetings are held in the Llanharry Workingmens Club, Llanharry at 8pm. To find the club there is a multimap on their website. If you're not a VMCC member but have an interest in motorcycles, then you are most welcome to come along and meet us. Our meeting attendances usually average around 60 - depending on the weather, bank holidays or if the meeting is an Agm.

I'm still a little lost with what I'm doing with this site but am learning all the time, so, it is hoped that the site will 'fill' out and become a useful means of communication within the club and the section. With any luck I'll be inundated with information that I can use - meanwhile, you'll find that some areas are a little sparse on content - be patient please and as much as I don't like to say it - things are very much "under development".

Do feel free to 'wander' around the premises and see what the section is all about.

To start off with, a visit to the Bike Park is recommended as on display is a range of motorcycles owned by various members of the Section.

Personally, I always visit the Bar first (don't you?) to see if there are any 'bargains' to be had in the sales and wants. Whilst in Spares and Services you will find contact information pertaining to suppliers for motorcycle items. Additionally, here you will also find a number of General motorcycling web links that might be of interest.

The lounge is the place to go for a quiet read of any reports on runs and meetings etc. Alternatively you can check on the calendars for Section meetings and Section runs and other events .

The Library is open to all VMCC members and Section members alike. Here you will find Technical information, or read some of the Features articles, plus Bike reports and even catch up on some past happenings in the Archive, not forgetting the page called When was it?

In the Office you will find all the 'Fuddy Duddies' who run the Section along with any announcements that the Chairman or Secretary need to make, plus information on the VMCC, our National Club.

I do hope you will find something of interest and/or amusement on the site, with feedback and 'constructive' comment always welcome. Please direct correspondence to the relevant person or directly to the webmaster.
