I read this with interest, but was concerned it appeared to refer to London motorcyclists only. I was a member of this organisation then, as were a number of my friends on Tyneside. We met on a regular basis in a hotel near Nevilles Cross in Durham.
Sadly, or fortunately , I was never called to help in any way, but we were all willing volunteers just waiting for the call. I still have my original membership card and I am sure the office was in Plough Lane, Wallington, Surrey.
