BMCRC-British Motorcycle Racing Club

The British Motor Cycle Racing Club, known as BMCRC or "Bemsee", is the World's oldest motorcycle racing club and one of the Uk’s largest. Founded in 1909, it was originally based at the classic Brooklands circuit near Weybridge in Surrey and is now run virtually by the Club's two employees, CEO Mike Dommett and Race Secretary Claire Hodgins.

This heritage is significant as the Club enjoys a position at the heart of two and three wheeled racing in the Uk, many stars past and present owed their development years to this Club.

The depth of our marshalling and officials community is also key as many past racers, their family members, friends and colleagues maintain an active involvement in assisting the Club on racedays and beyond.

The Current Club Structure

The Club is a mutual, this means it's owned by its Members - so if you are a Racing or Associate Member, then that's you!

The Club has upto 50 "Ordinary" Members who are able to attend the Clubs AGM (usually February of each year) and can vote on issues raised at that meeting. These people are invited to become Ordinary Members. Occasionally they may also meet at other times of the year if a particular issue requires attention. They are also responsible for overseeing the decisions made by the Board of Directors and are able to comment directly on the governance of the Club at any time. In fact, any Member can seek out a member of the Board if you have a particular issue that you feel needs addressing - the Directors list is top right on this page. The Club's management and governance is improved through all this feedback as well as Class-specific comments fed back via the Class Reps. Remember, the Club states that it is "run by Members for Members, by Racers for Racers". This fundamental approach is what makes it a Member's Club where comments are listened to, rather than just purely a commercial organisation.

The Club does have to run on sound commercial lines though, it's effectively a +£1m turnover business in a highly competitive market. It's also a very easy business in which to make losses.
