Every year is a busy one in the North Wales Wings Region of the Gold Wing Owner's Club of Great Britain
with planned regular ride-outs after the monthly meeting and other activities throughout the months.
The season kicks off at Easter with the Belgium Treffen after which there are Wing Dings all over the UK and
International Treffens across Europe.
There is also the Scarborough Light Parade in September organised by Yorkshire Wings as well as the BMF/MAG shows
and the Classic Bike Shows at which GWOCB have a stand. GWOCGB won an award for their stand at the NEC in November 2009
All the regions organise their own activities so there is a lot of variety and choice along with a lot of fun!
Really, if you had the time, you could spend all year on the circuit both at home and abroad -just dropping
home to pick up the post! Take a look at the articles below and come and join us!
We welcome and look forward to meeting members old and new as well as visitors who may have a Goldwing or are thing of buying one.
If you do not want to be a full member at once, then Associate Membership is available while you get the feel of the club and all it has to offer.
Christine - North Wales Wings
2010 From January 2010 there is a change of venue for the monthly meetings due to a geographical change in membership. There was overwhelming support for the more central position of Betws-y-Coed and thanks go to the Best Western Waterloo Hotel & Lodgefor accommodating us. Meetings times stay unchanged. | ||
August The big event this month is the GWOCGB British Treffen at Wadebridge in Cornwall. It is also GWOCGB's 30th anniversary. A wonderful few days with time to explore the beauty of the North Cornish coastline .Next year the British Treffen will be held in Anglesey - another beautiful area with lots to do and explore - and at the end of the closing ceremony, the GWEF flag was handed over from Devon and Cornwall Wings to North Wales Wings. Before that we supported members Dave and Edwina in their Fund-raising BBQ at Dave's Pig Inn on their camping and caravan site on AngleseyLocals gathered to enjoy the food prepared by Edwina and the hamburgers and sausages cooked by the men on a huge BBQ. More pictures in the Charity section - Photos. Meanwhile other wingers have been out and about not least Paul and Jan who are dedicated Wing Dingers. They planned to go to the Norfolk Wing Ding before going on to the Treffen in Cornwall. .    North Wales wings were asked to put on a display for the RNLI Rhyl Lifeboats open Day. Wingers from across North Wales supported us in this. | ||
July Our Wing Ding was deemed by our visitors to be a huge success with not a spare seat in the Cluhouse on Friday night where the Clubhouse was rocking.The rain cut short the well-planned run but, as inscription was in the club house with added interest of Information Point,Regalia and Indoor Traders, there was a nice warm refuge. Some of the boys settled themselves in front of the large screen to watch Silverstone. So with butties - supplied by chef Sandra -in one hand, a bowl of chips on the other and a glass of the wet stuff close to hand it was a bit like home from home! Others who didn't go on the run explored the surrounding area. Centre Wingers came for the day, found ice-cream and sunshine in Conwy and upgraded to stay the night and join in the fun. huge raffle for second night running with lots of delighted winners. A huge thank you to you all. Go to Gallery/NWW 2010Wing Ding for photos.
June The height of the Wing Ding and Treffen season. Allen and Christine from North Wales joined an adventurous group of Centre Wingers and friends (ten GoldWings and a sports bike) in Andorra, along with Alan and Linda from Sussex Wings who are 'having a whale of a time since buying their GoldWing trike and joining GWOCGB. May More planning at the monthly meeting for Wing Ding. Good run promised. Some North Wales Wings members joined Centre Wings in Ludlow on a lovely sunny Sunday.New members Phil and Carol who live in the far flung depths of Powys in our scattered region soon made friends with this friendly bunch of Wingers. There was a festival on including a Transport Festival, with vehicles of all shapes, sizes and ages. The Round Britain Motorbike Ride landed in Wales on Sunday May 30th. John & Marilyn met the organiser - a Centre Winger and bikers (two on Classic GoldWings) in Barmouth and Allen & Christine met them in Beaumaris where they found a Festival on. Pictures are of two of them -Classic GoldWings | ||
April and the sun started poking through. A few from North Wales Wings met Centre Wings at the Horseshoe Pass. They brought along a group from Shropshire Wings and Staffordshire Wings. About 25 Wings in all.More Pics in Gallery-2010  |

March and spring is round the corner. A few of us checked out the Wing Ding site again after the meeting. A lovely run to Bangor from Betws-y-Coed through the mountains in the sunshine.
Dennis and our Winger friends Pete and Diane joined the Wirral Egg Run at the end of March while John and Marilyn made the journey to Norfolk for the Charity Light Run and Static Display organised by Norfolk Wings. By all accounts Kidogo was a star attraction. John and Marilyn won the Furthest Travelled with 223 miles. See video:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v7YomGFaza0 |  |  |
February and it is Showtime. Allen & Christine were invited to the VIP Evening (prior to the Honda promotion weekend) a Colwyn Bay Motorcycles for the unveiling of a new motorbike.

| South Wales Deauville rider, Brian, turned to North Wales W "Each time there is a Repatriation of our lads killed in Afganistan through Wootton Bassett I attend together with others of the British Legion Riders Branch, and the Welsh Flag flying above the Riders' pennant on my bike 'aerial' will show that Wales is being represented."(Photo courtesy of Brian Whiting.) If you too would like one of these unique pennants-go to Regalia for info. |
January - The year started in the grip of ice and snow.The ride in to Betws-y-Coed along the A5 was on a clear road.The hillsides were covered with virgin snow and was beautiful. Surprisingly, there was none in Betws-y-Coed and we received a warm welcome at the Best Western Waterloo Hotel and Lodge. | Dave and Edwina brought along their Wing Nut grandson and we sampled the excellent Bar Food after the meeting as we socialised. ( Jack's sister, Bethan was at a party.We welcomed her in February). Some members were still caught up in the New Year festivities. In January we welcomed new members Phillip and Carol who live in Powys. Our region is certainley growing - and spreading | |
