We will again be holding our New Year’s Day Run in conjunction with the Sturminster Newton New Year’s Day Vintage and Classic Vehicle Run. The event, which is sponsored by Harts of Stur, is a charity event benefitting the Dorset and Somerset Air Ambulance.
Vehicles entering the main event are required to pre-book and are expected to arrive and be on display in the Station car park at Sturminster Newton from 9.00am. The run usually attracts an assortment of very interesting cars and it is well worth wandering round to see the vehicles and chat to the owners. The planned departure for the cars to take part in a scenic run is from 11am.
VMCC Members and friends who wish to take part in the VMCC Dorset Section’s Run usually arrive from 10am, but come earlier should you wish. Bikes should be parked on the pavement in Station Road opposite the Poets Corner Cafe. (Please do not park in the Hansons Fabrics and Crafts car park). You will be asked to sign-on on the day and for a minimum charity donation of £5 to place your motorcycle on display and/or go on the run. In return you will receive a voucher from sponsors, Harts of Stur, to the value of £5 to be spent in the store. Participants on the run are expected to leave from 10.45am; fifteen minutes before the cars.
We will go on a short run, it is January after all, to end at the Virginia Ash for lunch.
