The Founders Relay Rally is being run as a separate event in 2024, back by popuylar demand. Each section is encouraged to organise and man a Check-point for members to visit and collect a sticker, which will be provided, however, we understand if a section feels they are unable to organise a check-point this year. If your section does not have a check-point itself why not organise a run to a neighbouring section check-point or, if none are close enough, perhaps to a local Way Point from the National Way Point Rally which also launches today. The objective is to see as many motorcycles as possible on the road on this day and to meet with fellow riders along the way.

Founders Relay Rally

Synonymous with ‘The Taverners,’ is Founders Day set in the scenic Stanford Hall grounds, it has become one of the major UK events in the ‘old bike’ calendar. From humble beginnings almost fifty years ago with just a hundred or so visitors and half a dozen people selling surplus bike bits out of their car boot or laid out on the obligatory ‘paste table’ the event has grown in to a vast slick and professional operation.

Originally the event took place on the area to the right of the driveway with a small ‘arena’ to the back of the hall, nowadays there is a large arena to the front of the hall along with an auto jumble nearing 300 pitches in number and taking up the whole area to the front of the hall. ‘Happy’ Hamrax is remembered as one of the first commercial paying companies to attend with money only changing hands if they’d had a good day - oh how things have changed!

Founders Day
