The grounds of The Hall will be open from 17.30pm on Friday for the campers (please do not arrive
before this time unless you are a nominated helper). Please remember that The Hall and its grounds are

This year there will be a wristband entry system. Members wishing to attend on Saturday only will have
to apply in advance to Arthur Smith* sending a stamped, self- addressed envelope (SAE) and a cheque
for £5 payable to the Moulton Bicycle Club. This will entitle you to entry to the Bring and Buy sale and
all other events on Saturday. If you wish to bring any family members please state their names on the
form provided, there will be no extra cost. Please note you do not need to pay £5 if you are camping or
attending the evening meal. Members who are camping or attending the Dinner will be issued with a
wristband. This will also entitle them to free entry at the Bring and Buy sale.

There will be a security company on duty at the main gate. Anyone without a wristband will not be
allowed entry. These measures have proved to be necessary because of security problems in past years.
Parking permits will be issued to campers and sellers only and will be sent out when Arthur has received
the completed forms.

Camping is priced at £15 per tent with the use of shower and toilet facilities. Bring and Buy tables will
be £5 per table, £10 for larger tables e.g Trade. Remember please bring suitable covering for tables as
the tables this year are hired.

Overseas visitors can book through Tim Evans, Membership Secretary, using Pay Pal.

Saturday afternoon 3pm:

Dress to Impress: Last year this was a very successful event. Members are invited to come along with
their favourite Moulton and dress in clothing to match the era of the bike, colour co-ordinated or fancy
dress, you will be interviewed by Tony Hadland and a prize will be awarded to the best bike/outfit.

If any members have good examples of very early narrow bellows Moultons please could they bring
them along to display in the courtyard and discuss with Tony if the time permits. A greater selection of
catering will be provided this year including bacon rolls at the Bring and Buy sale and further lunchtime
teas/catering organised by Zoe Martin’s family

Once the afternoon talks are over, the Test Track will be available for approximately an hour and a half
for members to test out factory demonstrators and each others’ machines. The use of the Test Track will
be restricted to this time only as last year it was becoming too crowded and dangerous at times. Please
ride safely around the track as there may be damp moss in places and there is a steep climb to master.
We may have marshals in place if the track becomes busy to space out the riders and point out hazards.
Please wear a helmet for your safety and remember that you attend the event at your own risk.
