Good afternoon Tony, whilst not claiming to know everything like many on here, I am intrigued to learn more about the Bike Mice From Mars Membership - please enlighten, should this not have anything to do with 2 wheels and 750 cc.

Sadly gave my membership card, badge covered overnight bag and full circle skirts away in a moment of madness.

Met a scooter lad and never thought I'd return to the Northern scene for own reasons.

Now get withdrawal symptoms if not soulin each week - end and wished I'd kept the badges and membership card.

Gilly, sorry to go off topic but did you know a lad from Stoke named Thozzer who used to frequent the Casino in the late 70's, he also was a scooter lad who knocked about around Stafford and married a girl from RUGELEY. REGARDS pecker

Wish I still had my Torch one, seem to remember I had it proudly pinned on some pegboard on my bedroom, along with some EP covers, think the whole lot got consigned to the bonfire when the family downsized...

An old friend made a couple of bootleg ones on his photo copier at work as we didn't originals. Too paranoid to use them though! Still got in once the queue had dispersed - 2 hours later!

I still have 3 or 4 memebrship cards somewhere, mine and 3 mates who didn't want them (no names tho in case they want them back ) , maybe my ex wifes is there too

I,ll dig them out to check the No's, sure mine was late 73 issue

ian.

I still have mine - odd when so much has gone by the way. It's a blue gents card and dated June (no year shown though it was 1974) # 1416.

I'm not too sure they were meticulous with thier numbering though, MoodySoul's is a higher number but he got it earlier than I did by the looks of things - do you think they just chose a number at random? I had always been quite proud of my 'low' number, now I'm not so sure...

best,

bloody hell Nige was it the beer mate:D

Can`t remember why but I ended up with a pink (ladies) membership card, much to amusement of my mates as I recall!

I`ve also got a yellow "music club of Yorkshire" membership card, but can`t for the life of me remember which venue it was from. Perhaps Mr. Burton can shed a little light on that for me, cos my brain hurts!

That name rings a bell, but not guilty

Bill Payne and I used the name " High Style Music Revue " for numerous promotions we did in the 80s , and the membership cards for it were yellow .

Hi Everyone,

Just wondering what were the dimensions of the membership cards? Were they about the same size of business cards? 7"X5"? Thank you in advance!
