Copdock Motorcycle Show
Sunday 4th October 2014
Report by Mike Davies
The East Anglian Section of the BMW Club has exhibited here at
the Copdock Show for several years. The weather has not always been
kind!
Today the sun shone brightly all day after the early
morning mist had burnt off. The public turned up in large numbers.
The show opened at 9.00am but many of us had been there earlier
setting up the stand.
This year we had six bikes on the stand
with two unable to attend:
| Ken & Cathy Buchanan | R50 |
| Mike Davies | R75/5 |
| Peter Dutton | R1150R |
| Dik Langan | R1150RT |
| Guy Phoenix | R100GS |
| James Shailes | R1200GS |
Mr Craig-Bennet arrived late and had to park his bike in the car
park – he helped all day on the stand with the rest of us.

Douglas Sherwood called to say he had a cold so was advised to stay
at home!
By mid morning the public had filtered into the club
stand sheds and we were busy with general enquiries and those
wishing to join the club or just looking for the free coffee or tea!
We all took turns at walking around the show.
Elsewhere there
were stands for every conceivable bike related item and our own
members, Cliff & Jenny Batley had their own stand The Adventure Bike
Shop displaying a variety of goods and panniers systems.
Around
4.30pm, after a very enjoyable and productive day we packed up the
stand.
I make special mention of Mark Dutton who not only
organised our stand but also staffed it all day and provided the
banners and signs and of course the coffee machine and cakes and
biscuits and this time he cooked us bacon baps! Thank you Mark.
We had 10 new members sign up on the day with a few more likely
members who all had journals and membership forms given them.
Thank you all for making this year’s Copdock Show a resounding
success.
Here are some pictures from the day:
