Graham Walker Memorial Run, Beaulieu
The annual Graham Walker Memorial Run returns for its 60th vintage and veteran motorcycle gathering at Beaulieu on the 20th August.
In tribute to the late Graham Walker (pictured above in 1921, photo: Agence Rol), veteran, vintage and post-vintage machines of all makes built before 31 December 1940, will be displayed in the grounds of the National Motor Museum before roaring into life and setting off on a run around the New Forest.
Graham Walker was one of the founders of the Sunbeam Motorcycle Club in 1924 and was also club president for many years. After he retired from racing, he became the editor of Motorcycling and went on to become the first curator of the Montagu Motor Museum, forerunner to The National Motor Museum.
