 This year’s Bike meet at Langford Steam Museum was blessed with beautiful sunny weather all day which attracted a large attendance of visitors riding all kinds of bikes.

As usual, the East Anglia Section of the BMW Club had a stand ably manned by the members listed below and their bikes – refreshingly notable for the much earlier bikes and one late entry GSA! Many thanks to all these helpers and also other members who came on to the stand and assisted throughout the day.

The setting for this excellent Classic Bike Show is in the grounds of Langford Steam Museum, the original pumping stations for the water board, complete with working triple acting double expansion steam engine which is in full running order. An electrical power cut restricted the operation of this engine as it requires an electric motor to turn it to the correct position for starting.

The museum has many other working engines and machinery, all worth taking and hour or two to look over.

Several Trade stands are in attendance and also many local Motorcycle Club stands, so there is always a great variety of motorcycle to look at.

During the show this year we handed out literature and membership forms to several who may join in the future.

These local shows enables us to show people what we do as a club and always results in new members joining.
If you would like to help at any of the shows we attend just contact a committee member. Our next show is The Copdock Motorcycle Show, Ipswich on Sunday October 4h 2015.

Again many thanks for all who helped on the stand and the many visitors who called in to chat about various subjects related to BMW Motorcycles.
