Information

Formed in May 2016 as there was no dealership or TOMCC within 40 miles and clearly a lot of passion about the bikes from a number of perspectives. We have grown to 180 members in 7 years, cater for everyone where possible and have a very full programme for 2024. We are very much about inclusion and welcome members of all ages, abilities and interests and only ask that people actively participate and respect others views. There is a great range of experience and knowledge amongst members ,who, if they cant help personally can generally signpost to someone who can. Please note change of our HQ from January 2024
further info at www.tomcc-ne.uk

We are very much for the members - if a number of people want to do something then we will do our best to enable it - not everyone was interested in lots of longer last Sunday of the month rides so we introduced the Cafe Amblers for more social , shorter, gentler rides we have also have weekend camps, national and international tours, raffles, barbeques, skill learning sessions, Christmas dinners , guest speakers etc, and an events calendar with a variety of activities .
