BRIMBO is a club for local bikers interested in riding their bikes and socialising. Founded as a group for keeping British bikes on the road, the club now welcomes members with all makes and ages of bikes, although many of the shows we attend favour older marques.
Membership is open to all, with no restriction on type age or nationality of bike, though a lot of members have a strong interest in British and classic bikes. Newcomers are always welcome and a year's subscription, if you decide to join, is just £15 a year, or joint membership for two people at the same address is £25. Renewals are due in January. Subscription for members who join in the last 3 months of the year will also cover for the subsequent year. Join us now »
Club nights are the first Wednesday of the month and there is a social meet every Wednesday (see opposite). In addition, a committee meeting is held on (usually) the 3rd Wednesday of the month at 6.30 pm. Everyone is welcome and the committee is made up of all members who attend on the day. The next committee meeting is on 18th February at 6.30 pm If you have any articles or photographs for publishing in the next online newsletter or on the members' area of the website, please submit these to admin@brimbo.co.uk.

Thank you to everyone who helped to make our Lopham show so successful again, the volunteers who set up on the Saturday and everyone who came to help on the Sunday. Thank you to the stall holders and everyone who joined us and enjoyed the day. The weather held off apart from a few spots and it was a very friendly meet.
We were able to donate £650 to Norfolk Blood Bikes as a result of the show.

Club meetings are on the first Wednesday of each month, from about 6.30pm in the large hall. Committee meetings are the third Wednesday of the month. A few members also meet socially every Wednesday from about 6.00pm, usually in the Poachers room. In summer months when the weather is good we will meet in the beer garden, except for committee meetings. There is a car park at the back of the pub, overlooked by the beer garden. We look forward to seeing you there on a Wednesday.
