Many Regions of GWOCGB have only a minoriy of members who actually subscribe to the national Club; I heard of another one recently which only has two. So a move towards more independent clubs may well start to happen, especially with the prospect of a national Federation being formed too, which will be able to assist new clubs to form if they wish. Any Winger is welcome to express interest for his part of UK using this Blog, which is now getting very widely viewed in the UK GoldWing Community - it gets more unique viewings per week than GWOCGB had total Memberships last year, so it does reach Wingers who are not currently active in clubs as well as those who are. This Blog can be used to post ideas for a new Club, just send me an email about it. They can be any sort of GoldWing club anyone thinks might work - local, regional, special interest, anything. No one's trying to harm anyone or anything by opening things up to change - it's all about allowing freedom of choice, isn't it?

No one’s trying to harm anyone or anything by opening things up to change – it’s all about allowing freedom of choice, isn’t it?

It was so nice to be able to chat to so many people from Goldwing's North Wales and the Manchester group too who have the same goal, that is to enjoy and have fun on Goldwings. I see the future is bright and I'm definately looking forward to it. Thank you all.

The turnout of interested regions and members was above all me expectations, really pleased. I know the attendance book said 46 but Jackie and Judy counted over 50 people whilst having their breakfast. Big thank you to those who had input into setting up today’s meeting, you know who you are. Plus a very big thank you to Pete Rodgers and Ian Duxbury who yet again have put themselves in the firing line and offered their services as Treasurer and Membership secretary. I’m looking forward to working with these guys in the coming months. The breakfast idea was a great success even if Jim and I ended up helping to serve them. We both took advantage of the fact and ended up with extra sausage and bacon. Let’s do the breakfast thing again next month. I know we covered a lot of ground at the meeting and I’m glad we came to a decision on “Goldwings North West” as the name of the new club and also an agreement on the membership fee. There is still a lot to decide and I’m sure the members will have a lot to contribute in the coming months. Thanks for your input Stuart regarding the Federation concept, which certainly got the attention of quite a few visitors. Its success, by all the comments, is assured. We now have a lot of work to do in setting up the website, events programme, affiliation to the Federation, running “Goldwings North West” and having a shed load of fun during the season.
