Both old and new machines will be welcomed at the Velocette Owners’ Club’s May Day Show, which takes place at the village hall in Ham Street, near Ashford, Kent, on May 7, starting at 10am.

Riders are invited to take along any surplus jumble and sell it for free. Tables will be supplied and hot and cold drinks and burgers will be on sale, with profits going to the Kent Air Ambulance.
