PRINCIPAL EVENTS
The Waikato Branch has six principal events annually on the National Calendar:
* January sees the mopeds and scooters out on Blue Smoke & Pedals.
* April we hold the Mooloo Meander, exclusively for motorcycles of 2 or 3 wheels manufactured 30 years or more ago.
* June we hold our major event for the year, the Double Fifty Rally (so named because it traditionally runs 50 miles before lunch and 50 miles after). This generally attracts up to 120 vehicles from all classes, local members, and visitors from all over the North Island.
