The Van Dieman MCC were originally based at The Brewers Arms in Banwell, but have since emigrated to 'The Ashcombe' in Weston Super Mare.

Our name comes from the old Dutch name for Tasmania (Van Dieman's Land). Our link with Tasmania comes via two light fingered gits from Banwell in the 1840's, who nicked some blokes horses and were given a free holiday to (you guessed it) Tasmania, funded by your local tax payer. Hence our side patch in which Taz is riding out of Banwell castle on his steel horse

We are a mixed bunch of characters, some young in the saddle and some that have been on too long and wont get off!!!!

We are a sociable MCC that enjoys their time on the road, a few beers and lots of laughs, whether it be a 'ride out', a 'night out' or weekends away.

Fellow bikers are always welcome; why not join us for a drink on a Thursday night at The Ashcombe, 8pm, to find out more…
