WALTHAM CHASE

In 1974 WCBMCC helped to initiate the youth section of the ACU with only three other clubs in the country including Surrey Schoolboys MCC. Ted Hawker was the club and Southern Centre representative as well as Secretary for the ACU Youth Section after it's formation... September 1972 - Waltham Chase Boys Motorcycle Club (P0) was formed by David Hamer based at Shedfield in Hampshire. The aim of the club was to involve the youngsters in the running of the club as much as possible. As well as the normal motorcycling events of scrambling, trials and grass track the club wanted a meeting place and a workshop where the boys could build and maintain their machines. The workshop was planned for the wooden Waltham Chase Hut, but this burned down on the 18th September (P3), soon after the club was formed. Commander Richard Phillimore who became the President of the club had previously offered the club a track at Shedfield and he stepped forward to offer ‘The Barn' as an alternative for club..
