If all things go to plan a new JCB Club is to be formed. A preliminary meeting was held at Mike Eacock’s West Midlands premises when a number of JCB enthusiasts welcomed the idea.

It’s only preliminary at this stage, but the title suggested is Classic JCB Club. It is generally accepted that there is need for a club to cater for JCB machines and with the new factory exhibition and museum, The Story of JCB, now in operation the feeling is that the whole concept is ready to go forward. The next meeting is to take place on Sunday, January 15, 2012, at 2pm. All are welcome but those wishing to attend must first register with Mike Yates (call 07973 821715 or email This e-mail address is being protected from spambots.
