South
Wales Section - Calendar of Meetings, Runs, etc.
There is no
need to be a VMCC member to attend any of our club nights
and likewise most of our riding events.
In
fact, if you're just interested in anything two or three-wheels,
ancient or
modern, then you would be most welcome to come along and have a look at
us. Riding events start at 10.30am, unless otherwise stated. Club
nights start at 7.30pm, unless otherwise stated.
Those events listed in blue are not section events, but are events that
I know our members attend during the year.
Entry forms, when they become available, will be attached
to events.
If any date has had to be changed then it will be highlighted in bold type.
Please note that when food has been arranged for an event then you are
always welcome to attend, with the food being completely optional.
