Bournemouth Motor Cycle and Light Car Club events 1922

A post from Carrer Aldo on the fb Motorcycles 1867 to 1930 group combining for me both local interest and vintage motorcycles stirred my nerdish instincts so I went on a hunt for more info. I haven't found any good information on the Bournemouth Motor Cycle and Light Car Club (BMCLC from now on for brevity's sake) which seems to be long defunct. I did however come across a few more images and for good measure, just for the sake of it, I have included a couple of cars made in Bournemouth during the same era.

Several of the images are taken at Blissford Hill near Fordingbridge. The hill nowadays doesn't look like it would pose much of a challenge for any vehicle (though the event was a flexibility trial so maybe entrants needed to go up in top gear or some such) and is of course now paved. The location remains bucolic and is a popular spot for cyclists.

stately looking ascent.

A suit and tie is the only reasonable attire for a gentleman
participating in motor cycle sport!

And for good measure a rather low res picture of
the Palmerston car, made in Bournemouth between
1920 and 1923 and which competed in BMCLCC events.
There is more about the Palmerston in a brief
article from local rag, The Evening Echo.

And another low res image of another Bournemouth
motor car: the Christchurch Campbell made for 1922
only and may very well have competed in BMCLCC
events. This image from online car encyclopaedia,
