Holding a non-camping social weekend for GoldWings at the darker ends of the biking season, to allow Wingers to show off their display lights, is catching on.

Norfolk Wings are holding one in their part of the Country for the first time this year and would welcome plenty of support.

The Parade itself is on the evening of Saturday March 27th in Hunstanton, Norfolk, a small holiday town on the North Norfolk Coast.

Proceeds are to be donated to the local Air Ambulance so it’s all in a good cause – and the Town Mayor is joining the Parade as a passenger on a trike.

The social weekend is based on Manor Holiday Park, where the accommodation is in chalets but they will also allow caravans and motorhomes on site but no tents.  Day visitors are welcome to join in the Parade too and they can also enter the Holiday Park on payment of a visitors fee.

Inscription (i.e. event registration, payable to the Organisers) costs only £2.  The Event is being run “under GWOCGB Rules” so non-Members of GWOCGB/GWEF are made to feel welcome by being charged 50% extra.   However everyone pays the same for accommodation, which is at a discounted rate, so an extra £1 isn’t the end of the world.

This Event is being held in a small holiday town at a quiet time of the season when the easterly winds from the North Sea will probably prevent sunbathing and discourage bathing in the sea but North Norfolk is an attractive area to visit, Manor Park has a heated swimming pool as well as a bar and no doubt that will be warm and welcoming.  Entertainment is being laid on and they serve food there too.  It should be an enjoyable social occasion and a fine way to start off your GoldWing biking season.

Bob Summers, who thought up the Blackpool Illumination Light Parade, now in its eight year, has been pushing for GoldWing Light Parades to be organised in lots of coastal towns around UK.  It’s a fine way to show off GoldWings to the general public, raise money for charity and also have a good time.  He’ll be delighted that this new Light Parade is happening.  And as the Lead Organiser of this years Blackpool Light Parade so am I.  Well done Norfolk Wings for giving it a try.
