Royal Enfield Big Day Out attendee speaking to Gordon May.
“A cracking good show*
Classic Bike Guide editor, Tim Britton, speaking to Gordon May at the show.
Motorbike fans and the just plain curious had travelled from far afield to our showground in Redditch for a day of all things Royal Enfield. We had displays, competitions, speakers, 6 former members of the Royal Enfield trials team including legend Johnny Brittain, and a big dollop of Royal Enfield fan solidarity.
Torrential for twenty-four hours immediately before the show made the going heavy underfoot, but the sun came out and by mid afternoon the crowd were really enjoying themselves.
Gordon awarded show prizes at the end of the event. Prizes went to:

1930 – 1945 Royal Enfield: 1939 350cc trials Bullet, J Garner.
