Have a look at the gallery for some side car action pictures!!!!!!!!!!!!!! A little bit of the history of Scunthorpe
MCC- 'Still doing well after 85 years!'
The Scunthorpe Motor Cycle
Club is possibly one of the longest established sporting organisations
in the area. Having been formed in 1923 the club ran up until 1927
and was reformed into its present state in 1929.
We still have most of the original silver trophies from 1923 and
the club meeting minute books form that time until this year. The
club is affiliated to the East Midlands Centre of the Auto Cycle
Union with the motto being 'sport and fellowship' as our badge shows.
Even in the war years although there were no sporting events, several
of our members acted as dispatch riders for the Home Guards.
Over the years we have organised and been involved with many and
varied events, including trials, scrambles, grass tracks, hill climbs,
gymkanas, display, demonstrations, RAC/ACU rider training, car and
motor cycle main road trials, treasure hunts and the council summer
motor scheme and trails training days.
We are proud to say that our current membership
stands at around 100, with competitors ages ranging from 7 to 70+
years old!! The lasting success of SMCC is due to the long term
involvement and dedication of past and present officials and the
well known camaraderie and friendship amongst the motor cycle fraternity.
Long may it continue!
