Club Beginnings:

July 20, 1975 marks the date of the first official meeting of the Iron Guard Brotherhood Club. Tom Sullivan was the first president. The logo is the knight in “shining armor” with crossed swords in a square white background. The word “Iron Guard” is encompassed in an unbroken chain of brotherhood. The goals of the club incorporate the best ideals of those groups which have preceded us on the scene and a spirit of fraternity.

During the 1975 ShipMates’ fling in “Fun City”, the Iron Guard B.C. had its first official showing of colors. They were represented at the major runs in the East and received participation awards at Entre Nous’s Days of Equinox, Vikings MC & Entre Nous’s joint event Boston Massacre, and the Nine Plus Run.
