We consider it a privilege to be among the founder members of Goldwings North West. The events of 2008 were for us extremely and personally hurtful. There was no way we could have renewed membership of GWOCGB. So when our new Club was forming we were in the front line – and boy what a year it’s been. The new members are all great people, (and the old ones too) we’ve met so many good people this and we had good times in everything we’ve done.

We look forward to 2010 with even more good times ahead. We have to look forward and not look back.

HAPPY NEW YEAR GOLDWINGS NORTH WEST!

Congrats to all on a great debut year and a terrific organization. Hope to get back across to see you at BLP 2010. Save the barricades, Mark is back to Harleys, so he’ll probably be hitchhiking.

Hi stuart,

It does sadden me to hear that there are still problems in the Goldwing club scene which I hope will diminish in time. I read this article and ponder what prospective new members would make of it – and I would say to them, being an ex GWOCGB (1984 to 1990)myself, The Federation and the structure for forming new clubs is the way forward.

Help and friendliness is available for anyone to create a new regional club if necessary or they can join one of the existing clubs who will do everything to make sure there is plenty they can do on their GoldWing and enjoy it as much as possible. No hard and fast rules, just friendship and enjoyment, that’s what it all boils down to. Think with an open mind and enjoy 2010, ’cause I am going to enjoy it!

Thank you for those final comments Stuart. It really has been a privilege to be part of the Federation and our new club Goldwings North West. Between you and me I really have enjoyed myself and all the hard work has been really rewarding, but keep that to yourself. The first year of any new organisation is always the hardest, but I must say we got off to a flying start with a fine bunch of Goldwing owners right at the very beginning, and the number of members we have attracted over the 12 months has been very promising. Ian Duxbury the secretary says we have signed up a new member every month since we started. Not bad eh. Here’s to the next 12 months. I’m sure it will be just as rewarding.

Well after reading very slowly this blog it confirmed what i think i allready knew.
And that simple fact is that i and my wife joined the right club.
This year was our first full year on a goldwing
we had a taster of another but all it did was confirm our choice.
the fact is that i own my goldwing so that allows me to attend when and if i want and what ever event floats my boat.
so i will not be told by any one what and when and with whome i can ride it with.
Long live the word CHOICE……..That is what we have at gnw. choice is what every body has so use it and enjoy your wing the way you choose.

LOOKING FORWARD TO NEXT YEARS WINGING

P.S my spell checker was in the bath so sorry for any errors
