Pendle Forest Motor Club

The Club's existence spans over three quarters of a century from the early days of competitive and then
leisure motoring up to the late 20th century, and deserves to be remembered and documented in some small way.

My involvement with PFMC arises from my childhood with my parents, the late Harri and Doris Matthews, who were motorcycling
members of the Club from the early days, and this website is based on my recollections, and memorabilia handed down to me, along
with some material from the very few remaining descendants of other members. The assistance of my brother Richard back up in Lancashire
has been invaluable and is gratefully acknowledged, and we both feel very strongly that whatever material we possess or can glean deserves
to be set down for posterity before I too shuffle off this mortal coil.

Necessarily some of the information on here is speculative, since obviously Richard & I were not in at the founding of the Club and are having to
rely largely on secondary evidence with, I hope, intelligent guesswork to fill in some detail. To the best of my knowledge a definitive history of the Club
has never been written. Thus this attempt to get something on permanent record, insofar as the web can be called "permanent".

If someone out there has more accurate or complete information, please get in touch at the earliest opportunity.

I have split the site into sections based loosely on the accumulated memorabilia, accessed by the menus at the top and/or side of each page.
