Hello and Welcome to the Honda Gold Wing Owners Club of Great Britain

I am Mark Sands (Sandy) and currently the Chairman of the club which was founded back in 1980 by Mr Harry Ward, Harry had returned from the Belgium Treffen, a camping weekend held by the Gold Wing Motor club of Belgium and decided to create a similar club in the UK, and later that year the GWOCGB was born, now in its 46^th year.

So here we are and on this website you can find a wealth of information at your fingertips, about the club, Contact details, Membership forms, Event listings, Web links, the online WingSpan magazine, and lots of other interesting information.

So, whether you own an early 1000cc or the latest 1800cc this club can be the ideal platform to meet like-minded Gold Wing owners from across the country and Europe at the various events that the GWOCGB members organise for everyone to get together and enjoy. Everyone is welcome and the club is often described as the Gold Wing family.

The club is made up of regions from Alba in Scotland to Devon & Cornwall, Lincolnshire in the East to West Wales and lots more in between, take a look at the Regional lists, there you will find your nearest and the Regional Rep’s contact details. These Reps are there for your benefit, they will help you get joined up, and answer any questions you may have.

Also listed are the National Committee names and contact details should you wish to get in touch with them. The NC and the Reps are volunteers and give up many hours for your benefit so please support them.

A Wingding?

Well a Wingding is a Gold Wing Rally, organised by mostly the Reps of a Region for GWOCGB members to attend, these are mostly held at Rugby or Social clubs, motorhomes and various camping methods fill the fields, here you will meet other members, go on run outs, get food and drink, see the evening entertainment, have lots of laughs and more often than not increase your friends list.

A Treffen?

A Treffen is a once-a-year event in countries across Europe, our Treffen is August Bank Holiday weekend every year. Our Treffen co-ordinators work very hard all year round to bring together our signature event for the membership. You get more people, more run outs, and more entertainment than a wingding, various trade stalls are there and a Gold Wing dealer. We will also see some of our European Gold Wing friends visit the British Treffen.

Ok that’s a brief introduction to the GWOCGB, and I hope to see some new members come on board, as with any club the more you put in the more you get out and for currently around 70 pence a week I personally think it’s very good value.

Thanks for reading, take care and ride with pride

Sandy……. Chairman GWOCGB.
