The WAHCC is celebrating a Midland landmark with a display of historic bikes alongside information and photographs drawn from interviews with Flash employees, riders and members of the Barron family.

Please, be our guest; as part of our Pop Up Museum celebrating the Flash Sports Depot we're inviting all current Flash owners to bring their bikes back home to Midland. Have your Flash dated and added to our register by a club expert and take away a commemorative registration tag.

We’re also inviting ex employees and riders associated with Flash to down tools and join us for morning smoko.


Do you have a cycling story to share? Your first bike, a racing rellie? We’d love to hear it. This may be the biggest gathering of Flash bikes since the company closed in the 2000.


All this is happening alongside the City of Swan's celebration of Midland's 125th anniversary at the Old Courthouse in Midland.

The exhibition will run 9am to 4pm each day.
