This Saturday more than 150 members, past members and friends of the Pendennis Motorcycle and Light Car Club are expected to gather at the Membly Hall Hotel, Falmouth, for an evening's celebration, to mark the club's 75th anniversary year.

The evening should prove to be a who's who in motorcycle sport spanning 75 years, with the club's only surviving founder member, Selborne "Rancher" Stevens at 90 years of age, who was one of the small band of motorcyclists who met in the lock-up garage in Hawkins Way 75 years ago to form the club, making a special appearance.

Also attending will be Percy Ambrose of Penryn, a mere 86 years of age, who was in the club during the late 1940s and early 1950s, and was a very keen competitor.

Other Pendennis members from the past and, in fact, still club members are Colin Dommett, European sidecar trials champion, and Paul Spargo, son of founder member Arnold. Paul was British national speed hill climb champion during the 1970s.

There will be many representing their parents who are sadly no longer with us. Allan Robinson MBE will be the special guest and will act as joint MC.

On the Sunday a vintage bus and motorcycles will be leaving the Membly Hall at 2pm for a nostalgic trip to the Lizard, to retrace the steps of one of the club's first outings in 1930.

Unfortunately, the flowerbed in the Queen Mary Gardens, Falmouth, depicting the club badge, has not materialised as hoped due to a problem with the plants. However, Carrick district council has responded by planting flowers in front of the club's commemorative stone at Castle Drive, depicting the words 75 years, which the club are very happy with.
