KNOWN as the Old Man s Outing the Veterans Reunion Trial run by Ilkley and District Motor Club was first established more than 70 years ago. These photographs from the club s archives show some of the well-known competitors who have taken part in the event. Club historian Janet Kitching said: When motor sport resumed after World War 2 it was noticed that many of the older but still active members were appearing at events as spectators and it was felt that an attempt should be made to revive their talents and get them back onto a motor cycle. With this in mind, one such member, since 1928, Geoff Fletcher, came up with the idea of a reunion trial, open to clubs in the Yorkshire Centre but only for riders who had first competed in an event in Yorkshire prior to 31st December, 1930.
