  • The Romney Marsh Classic Bikejumble: Sunday 13th May 2012. New for 2012 at the Romney Marsh Bikejumble on Sunday 13th May we have hired a huge new marquee, with plenty of space for undercover stalls and an indoor seating area. Sadly, we're giving the Motoball a miss this time as their pitch was a little too wet what with all the drought conditons we've been having... With tons of new and used spares for sale in the motorcycle-only Bikejumble it's just the place to pick up a bargain. Cheap garage clear-out stalls for motorcycle spares & accessories are available for £10, contact us to pre-book or download a form from our website. The free-to-enter Bikemart attracts lots of complete, running machines for sale, so is the ideal place to pick up your next machine.
  • Round Britain Ride - In Aid of Bliss and Everyman Charities. Gemma will be riding the coastline of Great Britain over two weeks on her Triumph Daytona 675. To support these great charities visit her website:
