About
The East Sussex Section

The East Sussex Section organises a wide variety of meetings and events to cater for anyone with an interest in vintage and classic motorcycles. You do not need to own a bike to come along - an interest really is all that’s required!

This page will give you an overview of what we have on offer, for more information on upcoming events, as well as a calendar of the entire year’s events, please see our Events section.

Club Meetings

We have two club meetings per month, these are held on the 2nd and 4th Wednesday at Brian's Barn, Ashburnham nr Battle.

From April to October they are at 7pm

From November to March they are at 10:30am

We usually have something going on at these meetings, as well as ‘Natter Nights’ regular events include:

My Bike - A member will bring their bike along, give a brief chat about it and then answer questions.
Bring Something Interesting
Bring and Buy

Riding

We have a core of members who still regularly ride their classic bikes. If you like getting them out of the garage and using them as their makers intended, you're in the right place.

Rideouts

We host regular rideouts which are open to all. These are typically on a Wednesday morning during the summer and range from 15-100 miles. Just turn up at the designated start time and place and there will be someone there to lead you around. These rideouts nearly always involve a cafe or pub stop.

Bike Meetups

We know that riding in a group isn't for everyone, so for 2027 we are trying something new. We'll select a cafe or pub for breakfast or lunch and you can make your own way there to join the group for a social. Then you can make your own way home. You can do as few or as many miles as you like on your favourite roads, but still get to meet up with a group of like-minded riders.

Charities

The East Sussex Section holds a number of events throughout the year in aid of local charities. The biggest one of which is our annual Bike Show and Concours which, in 2026, raised £2000 for St Wilfird's Hospice. We are always open to suggestions but a few of the charities we have raised money to support in recent years include:

Air Ambulance

St Wilfrid's Hospice

St Michaels Hospice

Cancer Research UK

MSA Trust
