History
Dales Classic Motorcycle Club 28-12-2008
Henry Gaunt and Colin Pickering formed the Club late in 2008, evolving from the Darley Dale Panther Owners Club.
After Henry agreed to take over the “Pre-65 Trials Demonstrations” at the Stafford Show in 2008 it was found that A.M.C.A. affiliation would be required.
Together with Colin, Henry then decided to run a series of trials for pre-65 and Twin-Shocks up to 1985 vintage. The latter being a category not catered for by all other local, classic Clubs.
During that first year the club organised sixteen events, including ten trials, four practice days and the two demonstration trials at the Stafford shows.
At the end of 2009 the work load on the few dedicated enthusiasts had grown beyond expectations and a full committee with designated duties now carries the Club forward with Henry Gaunt as Chairman and Colin Pickering as Trials Secretary. Andrew Cooke as Club Secretary.
