Celebrating 30 Years!!

Over the years, it has attracted enthusiasts and collectors from all walks of life, united by a shared passion for vintage machinery and engineering marvels. As the milestone approaches, the club is planning a grand celebration to honor three decades of dedication and camaraderie in conjunction with its annual Old Wheels in Motion event being held in July 2026. These celebrations will serve as an opportunity to reflect on the Club’s achievements and envision its future. With an emphasis on engaging the younger generation, the club hopes to inspire new members to carry on the legacy of machinery preservation by fostering a sense of appreciation for the past.
