Doug undertook this project for his nominated charity "Macmillan Cancer Support",
who do such wonderful work for those affected by cancer. "I have recently
lost a few of my closest friends to this disease and I am sure that you too
will have been touched by losing someone you know to this dreadful illness.
Cancer has no boundaries!"

While Royal Enfield bicycles were first manufactured in the year 1892, the Enfield Cycle Company was formed fifty years ago in the year 1896. It was an offshoot of the Townsend Needle Company and first manufactured bicycles in a
part of the Townsend works at Hunt End. It later absorbed the whole works, which were in the next ten years trebled in size. From those days, until the present time, the Company has continued to progress, but there is no chronological record of its achievements, neither is there any account of the men responsible for building up the organisation. This would have been most interesting reading to all present-day members of the Company.

In starting the publication of this magazine, therefore, it is hoped to establish a permanent record of the activities of the Company and those prominent in its
organisation.

With this end in view, there will be included in future publications interviews with and opinions of members of all departments of our organisation and of our prominent dealers. In this manner it is hoped to build up a common interest among all those who are in any way related to the manufacture and distribution of products bearing the time-honoured name of "ROYAL ENFIELD."
