During the twenties with many world records and racing successes, enthusiasm for Douglas machines mounted, which led to the formation of factory sponsored clubs throughout the UK. The ‘London Douglas M.C.C.’ was formed in 1928 by a few Douglas owners and during the thirties membership gradually increased as popular activities such as sporting events, day trips, camping weekends and long distance runs were held.
