Marking the 22st anniversary of having fully re-opened from August 2001 with a “Cafe Racer Ride Out” departing the Ace at 10.30am on Saturday 2nd September to attend a special one hour Celebratory Service and Blessing of the Bikes that, starting at noon , is led by 59 Club Chairman and motorcyclist Father Matthew Cashmore, at All Saints Church Hanworth - originally built and opened with the Late Reverend William Shergold RIP installed as its first vicar in 1957, prior to his then moving on to the Church of St Mary, Eton Mission at Hackney Wick, London and the 59 Club.

 
As a keen motorcyclist Father Bill, or Farv, as he was affectionately known, visited the Ace Cafe in 1962 to invite motorcyclists to attend a service and blessing of bikes at The Eton Mission, Hackney Wick  This was a great success and was widely reported on at the time.  From this the 59 Motorcycle Club, a registered church charity and motorcycle club was born, and it’s now revered reputation established – This year, 2023, celebrates the 61st anniversary of the first Blessing of the Bikes, and of the 59 Club (a registered church charity) becoming a motorcycle club in 1962
 
Overflow parking and facilities, to include WC’s, is at the Hanworth Air Park Leisure Centre opposite the Church
