Tomorrow (14th August 2013) will be the 90th Anniversary of the formation of the Western Australian AJS Motorcycle Club. A meeting had been called prior to this inauguration by Mr M. Leverington and 33 people attended, all riders of A.J.S. motorcycles. There was sufficient interest to lead to the club being formed on 14th August 1923. Interestingly MWA (then W.A.M.C.A.) had only just held their initial meeting on 31st July 1923 at the Bohemia Hotel (wherever that was), AJS joining the association at its second meeting. Happy Birthday AJS MCC. (Paul Church)

Sorry Folks, Think i'm gonna top that by the looks. Our club [MOMCC] Manawatu Orion [in nz this is] had its 100th in 2011 which [just looking it up] is the last time i rode--must do something about that. But i see they say the Nelson Club is older than that--Golly Gosh. Hope there's lots of pics that might find their way onto the internet from early days of 'all' these clubs--be a great to see.

I went to the Canterbury clubs 100th anniversary in Christchurch in 2010. I seem to recall that the oldest Aussie club might have been my old club, Annandale -Leichardt in Sydney, formed in 1908 making it 105 years old. In the early to mid seventies it and Willoughby were the strongest motocross clubs in NSW. They're both just shadows of their former greatness today.

My Aboriginal mate Scamper was learning over my shoulder reading this thread, when in his classic dry style commented. "Hey bloke we coulda have beat all you bloody white-fella by 40000 bloody year .....if only we had invented a bloody wheel mate ... :o."
 Gotta love people that can take the piss out of themselves ;) :)
I may not agree with what you have to say, but I'll defend to the death your right to say it.

 Merrylands District MCC started circa1947.  Threw in the towel in the '70s. We still get together what's left of us each November at Smithfield RSL.  Most members competed in all phases of M.C. sport.

 It would be interesting to know who would be the oldest rider still competing in m.c. sport with the longest running club, having continuous membership with that club.

 Cheery cheers to all. pancho.

 Often off line but hopefully rarely "out 'o lne"!
dont follow me i'm probably off line!
