Bill Douglas

On Weds 9th June 2010 Bill Douglas, of the Douglas motorcycle family, came along to our club night to talk to us about the history of the family and provide some background to the heritage of this once great marque.

Hearing personal stories from a member of the family painted a vivid picture of the birth of this firm and relived the Kingswood factory's hayday when 5000 poeple were employed there and the plant was the largest motorcycle factory in the world.
