OCBC Report

OCBC (Old Cars, Bikes and Coffee) Report

The August OCBC was included in the itinerary of the National AGM, so it was the biggest OCBC yet with lots of visitors. Well over 100 cars and a few motorcycles turned out in perfect weather, and a couple of new members were signed up. The coffee van was busy all morning, and around 150 people stayed on afterwards for the BBQ lunch with the AGM delegates. The September OCBC will be held on Sunday 19th September, and is now going to be our last opportunity for a fundraising event for the Cancer Society now that we’ve not been able to run the Daffodil Rally. We’re going to make it an informal Show and Shine event, and we’ll collect donations for the Cancer Society as part of the proceedings. For those who have never been before OCBC is an open event held every third Sunday morning of the month in our club grounds, and any car, motorcycle or vehicle enthusiast is welcome to attend. Vehicles can be of any age, nationality or condition - if they are loved and enjoyed they are more than welcome to be put on display. A coffee van is always in attendance, and the Spares Shed and compound is also always open. For the September event we will also have small prizes for the best British, American, European, Japanese and Australian vehicle, and the best motorcycle. If COVID restrictions are still in place we’ll send out an email a few days before OCBC, but we can say that unless we have returned to Level 1 by then, OCBC will not go ahead.
