Welcome
to the South Wales
Section
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.
