- St. Johns annual fair on the 22nd November. After our successful display at the Clifton Waters Village, we have been asked to provide a similar presence at the St. Johns annual fair. It would be great if we could again have aas many motorcycles as possible present with members to chat to the crowds. This provides great publicity for our group, and positive exposure in the community.
