Classic Women at July Ardingly Bike Show
Summer Bike Show and ‘Jumble for later classics at Ardingly showground on Sunday 14 July 2024.
Elk Promotions’ Ardingly Classic Bike Show & Jumble returns to The South of England Showground in Ardingly on Bastille Day, Sunday 14th July 2024.
This year’s theme is Classic Women, with a display of historical info covering women riders and their motorcycles, plus a raffle, featuring prizes including a Maria Costello paddock jacket.
“There are more women in the classic scene than people imagine” says event organiser Julie Diplock, “And I’d encourage them to enter their bikes in our Summer Show. Even if your motorcycle isn’t a classic, providing it’s interesting, you would be in with a chance of going home with a prize”.
With nearly two acres of classic motorcycle show and autojumble undercover, as well as jumble stalls in the open air, it’s set to be a big one!
A must-visit for fans of later classics – there’s no age restriction on machines at the July show – Ardingly always attracts an eclectic mix of machines, from both home-grown marques and those further afield.
Norton enthusiasts in particular, should put the date in their diary, as the organisers have confirmed the Norton Owners Club will be in attendance, with some very special machinery.
As usual, both the club stands and private entries will be on show in the main Jubilee Hall.
Last year’s prize winners proved the variety on offer with ‘Best Pre 1950’ going to Stephen Elston’s 1902 211cc Minerva, and at the opposite end of the motorcycling spectrum, Lee Henderson’s 1977 50cc Suzuki A50P Sports, taking ‘Best Lightweight’.
