Formation of Club
The Westmorland Motor Cycle Club was formed as a result of a meeting of motor cycling enthusiasts at Kendal on 29th January, 1910. There were seventy members by the time the first event was held on Good Friday of that year, when a hill climbing contest was held up Huck's Brow on Shap Fell, a road which later became renowned to generations of lorry drivers for its severity in Winter. The most popular form of sport in those pre-first war days would appear to have been hill climbs and events were held up Brigsteer Brow, Bank Head, Tow Top, Orton Scar and the Greyhound.
