Factory Open Weekend
The third annual Watsonian Squire Open Weekend 14th – 15th June, 2008Visitor numbers comfortably exceeded last year's total of 2,000 at the third annual Open Weekend at the Watsonian-Squire factory in the Heart of England. The weekend provides a unique opportunity to see the World's longest established sidecar factory as well as the current range of motorcycles on offer from Royal Enfield, including UK-only specials. Stand Dibben, who won two world sidecar world championships in the 1950’s on Watsonian outfits, proved a hit with visitors of all ages, thanks to a fund of anecdotes from his incredible career. The sunshine seemed to attract an increased number of outfits this year, some of which are pictured above. Plenty of money was raised for worthwhile causes too. Bruce Maconochie from Oxfordshire Royal Enfield gathered plenty of support for his 2000-mile round trip from John O'Groats to Lands End in aid of the Parkinson's Disease Society, while a further £500 was also collected for the CJ Riders Fund. Home cooking was provided by the hard-working Seas Scouts of Shipston on Stour, with proceeds going towards their new scout hut. Local Information
