Rallies 2024

The Club now has a programme of Rallies and Events for 2024, including the Stafford Bike Shows extending from April to October; we will publish these dates when we get details.

Every event will give our members and other fellow Motorcycle enthusiasts an opportunity to:

Meet up with friends old and new;
Chat about problems with your bike (and if your beloved machine runs like a Soviet sewing machine you can do a little gloating);
Buy or swap spares if any are taken and
Just have fun!

We are doing our best to again make 2024 another year when we all get together and have fun!

See you there, COC Committee

NOTE: Remember - Covid hasn't gone, it's on the rise again this year, so keep up your guard when at a a rally

September 13th - 15th

Norfolk 'n' Good camping weekend at:

Woodhill Park, Cromer Road, East Runton, Cromer, Norfolk NR27 9PX

This is a clifftop, family holiday campsite with typical North Norfolk coastal views, soft camping grass, lovely plumbing and a shop. We've booked 20 pitches on Friday and Saturday nights and 5 on Thursday for those who'd like get there early. To secure your place contact the campsite on 01263 512242 or at info@woodhill-park.com quoting the 437066 booking reference so the campsite know who you are. Do this earlier rather than later because although the campsite don't expect to be packed out this weekend, end-of-season hot weather could fill the campsite unexpectedly. You might get away with not booking but if you just turn up, who knows, you might not be lucky.

NB, After the end of July, the campsite will release our unfilled pitches if they're under pressure, so book before then to be safe.

Our pitches do not have electric hook-ups but the campiste has lots of those. If you want one, contact the campsite and tell them that when you book, again earlier is better than later.

Our no-electric pitches cost £10 + £3.15 per person per night, so two people in one tent or camper van on Friday and Saturday will cost £26.30.

As a special concession, we don't need to clear the site until noon on Sunday. Hopefully, we'll have the COC gazebo just in case it rains.

Sometimes pop-up burger or chip vans turn up on site in the evenings but the village of East Runton with its two pubs and cafes is only 5 minutes walk away.

We have a ride out around the quiet, leafy lanes a few miles inland planned for Saturday morning but as ever, earlier rather than later is better because we want to vist The Muckleburgh Collection which is a Tank Museum only a few miles up the coast. This costs £12 entry but I think it's well worth that. If you want to drive a tank, I kid you not, you'll need to book in advance on the museum website, www.muckleburgh.co.uk

Because the Tank Museum is close to the campsite, not going on the ride out is optional if you want to spend more time there. Returning to the campsite without getting lost on your own is easy, if you get bored with armoured vehicles.

If you want a more traditional seaside holiday experience, the wonderful little town of Cromer is only a few miles away.
