A friendly and inclusive event at the heart of our club. There has been an Annual Rally since 1983, when the first “Sunbeam Pilgrimage” to Wolverhampton took place. It brought together owners from the wider community with IMI-Marston employees enthusiastic about the firm’s history. The Rallies were organised by the Marston Sunbeam Register until that body was superseded by the newly-formed Marston Sunbeam Club & Register in 2010.

The Royal Oak is a very motorcycle-friendly pub – there’s even some Sunbeam pictures on the walls - and on the 24th June they are hosting a Motorcycle Day. The beer is very good and the staff were very keen to have us there when we met at the Sunbeam Ale re-launch event at the brewery.
We meet on the third Thursday of alternate months. The meeting is very informal, and you can arrive any time between 7p.m and 9p.m. Everyone within reach of Wolverhampton, and beyond, is very welcome.
Peter Yates is the Corordinator for the group and can be contacted on
