Founders Day

Celebrating VMCC Founder “Titch” Allen, and his first ‘Taverners’ branch of the VMCC is the club’s ‘Founders Day’.

Founders Day set in the scenic Stanford Hall grounds, it has become one of the major UK events in the old bike calendar. From humble beginnings almost fifty years ago with just a hundred or so visitors and half a dozen people selling surplus bike bits out of their car boot or laid out on the obligatory paste table, the event has grown into a vast slick, and professional operation.

Originally the event took place in the area to the right of the driveway with a small arena to the back of the hall, nowadays there is a large arena to the front of the hall along with an autojumble nearing 300 pitches in number and taking up the whole area to the front of the hall. Happy Hamrax is remembered as one of the first commercial paying companies to attend with money only changing hands if theyd had a good day oh how things have changed!

The Theme for this year is Flat Tankers/Veteran and Specials

This Year the event will be held on 23rd July 2023.

The Branch will have it’s traditional large Marquee and bike display – Bring your Norton!
