Welcome
to the South Wales
Section of the VMCC
![]() 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 79 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 in the
meetings
calendar 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 developement". Do
feel free to 'wander'
around the premises and see what the section is all about.
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 the Section newsletter.
and any reports
on runs and meetings etc. Alternatively you can check on Section
meetings, Section
runs and other events .
In
the
Office you will find all the 'Fuddy
Duddies'
who run the Section along with any announcements that the
Chairman or 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 thewebmaster.
This covers how the site is laid out, but if you're like me you'll have got bored by now and started using the good old 'trial and error' method. However, for those 'sad' people who need to read everything on each page then as the saying goes, 'fill your boots'!! Site
layout has been made similar to that used for your computer directory
so that
moving around should be easy. Navigation can be achieved by
various
hyperlinks (underlined Blue) and buttons situated on the
pages.
Additionally to speed up selection a link to all main sections will be
found at
the top of every page, note that the CONTENTS page may be used to
directly
access any part of the Web Site. Each page has been tested using Google Chrome, Firefox, Internet Explorer 7 and Opera. Please excuse me if I've missed anything and do let me know if you have any problems viewing pages. The only problem that I have encountered is with Internet Explorer which threw up an error message that stated that IE had stopped the site from running ActiveX scripts. If this happens to you then it is most probably due to the security level being set too high in your IE and is due to the lefthand side buttons turning red when the mouse is held over them. Everything will still work ok with the website even if you do not change your security settings. All external links to other web sites will open in a new window so that when you are finished with that site and close the window down, this site will still be there for you to continue. For viewing, the site was originally designed for a default screen size of 1024 x 768 but hopefully should work on your default setting. Finally the layout has been designed to be quite simple so that it is easy on the eye to find what you are looking for without overloading the information given on any one page.
