Happy 70th birthday to the VOC West London Section!
Not a bad run.
Some 40 members sat down to lunch last Sunday to mark the occasion.
The section was formed in 1954 when the bikes were still being built. Members have raced, toured, rallied, made a documentary, co-chartered aircraft to transport Vincents to north America, steered the VOC at senior positions, designed a race-winning Vincent frame and over the years, restored every model.
It is also the Vincent family’s home section.
Several members at Sunday's event joined in the 1950s; and a good few joined in the last year or two.
Many thanks to Barbara Brooks for setting up Sunday's great event – to Ron Thomas for so ably section organising, plus artist and TZ racer Sian Brooks for design work. A few shots here from Sunday and a few shots from back in the day.
