The Bar-None Motor Cycle Club
  The Bar-None Club was formed by British troops in May 1944, by despatch riders deployed near Cairo Egypt. The machines all War Dept, M20s, G3Ls 3HWs etc in fact anything that could be modified, It was open to all ranks with no one barred - hence the club name. Trials, Speedway (on Sand !) and the main event a Hill Climb, in the shadow of the Pyramids. The club spread all over the middle east, Africa, Canada, New Zealand. What is very rare are the genuine Club Badges cast by R.E.M.E workshops.
