Classic Bikes At Heage Windmill
On Sunday September 10th a Classic Bike Rally assembled at Heage windmill and, despite what might be called 'inclement' conditions, some 50 machines were on display.
But we had more than just motor bikes , we had a couple of 1933 Morgan three wheel cars and even a Mercian ,custom made Mercian racing pedal cycle, also on show! The instigators of the concept of the Windmill rally, Graham Walker and Colin Clemens told Lynn Allen, event organiser for the windmill ‘ It was always great to come to such a super venue as Heage windmill , everyone is so friendly’ .
A surprise display was a 1939 wartime dispatch riders motor bike, restored and presented by Ralph and Jane Taylor of Nether Heage – their bike attracted a lot of attention. However Lynn Allen presented a new award fort the event ‘A Certificate for the best bikes on show’, to Graham Walker , who had come on a beautiful 1950’s Norton 19R.
Despite the weather many did a tour of the windmill and bought goods from the bric-a brac stall, with all proceed going to the upkeep of the windmill.
