Aussie Motorcycle Clubs :- Oldest

[Hoony]

Thinking about going to My club tonight, not that active these days but its my 31st year as a member and it got me thinking what is the oldest continual running club in Australia?

my club The "Dandenong Motorcycle Club" or DMCC started in 1931 and will celebrate it's 80th year next July.

considering the ACUV (now MAV) started in 1928 i think the DMCC may be one of the oldest in Vic (not sure when they affiliated with ACUV) so lets just stick to club formation.

You could be right on the money there Hoony,  Sporting started up around March 1932.

my quote    on old oz mx tracks
Attended SummerCross last night up at Coastal Motorcycle Club,Henderson Park Perth the club was Incorporated in 1919 and first main mx event was in 1920.
Whilst browsing through the perpetual trophies I came across the club Champion/High Points and read the names of  P Hopwood 76/77 and Rod Gilchrist in 2000 and 2002 .
These are two of VMXWA  A Grade riders.
Leisk was on the same trophy. 
cheers

The oldest club in Australia would have to be the Ulysses Club.
Average age would have to be at least late 60's which should easily make them the oldest.

My original club, Sydneys Annandale-Leichhardt was formed in 1908 making it 102 years old this year. I reckon it'd be one of the oldest, if not the oldest in Australia. Arch rival St George club kicked off in 1915.

Not as old as others already mentioned but for interest sake. Bankstown Canterbury MCC formed in 1947, merged with a dying Wiley Park MCC in 1951 becoming Bankstown Wiley Park MCC, was a dominant club on Short Circuit until the 80's. Still running, I think.

For what it's worth, Bendigo Motorcycle Club was formed in 1925, and has been at Ravenswood recreation reserve since 1933, and is still going strong.
