The Copdock Classic Motorcycle Club is unusual in that it has no members, just 12 people who form the committee and are supported by a loyal band of unpaid helpers. All funds generated by the show and their two motorcycle fun-runs are donated to a long list of local charities, who have benefited from a staggering £100,000-plus distributed to date.

On the day, Steph Ruddy gets more than 100 trade and autojumble stands into position by opening time. Meanwhile the entrants for 23 indoor show classes and a whole marquee full of club-stands are set up by the other members, including Paul Easton who also supports the show with a display of Royal Enfield bikes from local distributors Washbrook Motorcycles. This year, the Vincent Owners' Club exhibit was outstanding with probably about a million euros worth of bikes on display (at today's prices anyway!).

A pair of Douglas 350cc Mark IV machines owned by Mr Bigg and Eric Morley.

A whole day's programme in the show ring this year included displays by the Boldog Lings Freestyle team and stunt rider Nik Soar, the Motoball Team, Cycle Speedway and Mick Cross.

You could enjoy a pint in the beer garden with live music provided by the excellent Back Porch Band, enter a draw for a new Royal Enfield Trials Classic for only a quid, plus do the program quiz and win £50 while you were at it. It was a great day out and for good causes too, so keep your eyes peeled for the 2008 date. Copdock Bike Show Winners
