Those of you who look at the club calendar will notice there is an entry for June 25th
Last year Ben on the Goodwood racer and I on my Grey Flash attended a charity hill climb at Prescott I think I said in my Racing Section in MPH how disappointing it was to be the only Vincents there in the midst of every classic motorcycle (road and race) you could think of. all riding the hill at their own pace (its not timed) .
Here is Bens on Board video but dont think everything went up was a racer there were all sorts of classic and vintage machines
I have managed to arrange a stand (tent and reserved area) for the club. Here is the Notice that will go in the January MPH but if you want to enter the booking is open first come first served.
===================================================================================================================
VOC AT THE PRESCOTT HILL CLIMB
The VOC have been invited as a favoured club to attend the famous Prescott hill climb on June 25th
this is chance to display your machine and optionally to also run your Vincent on the famous Prescott hill. There is a paddock area (stand) reserved for the members bikes to be displayed next to the VOC display tent. The event is not timed so you can ride the hill at your own pace. The event is held in a wonderful setting in the Gloucestershire countryside in its own parkland setting and the event raises money for the Blood Bike charities and is organised by the regional group, Severn Freewheelers.
If entered to
run the hill you can go for the whole weekend and on Saturday night there is a bar and food available. It is not a general campsite but is reserved for entrants only and their ‘pillion’
