Update July 2021
There is even more optimism in the air now that over the next few months the UK Covid-19 pandemic will be substantially under control following the UK’s wonderful vaccination programme, and us older codgers are now able to get back together to enjoy our Nortons and each others’ company.
As the year unfolds we have built up our programme of events, and I am pleased to say that clubnights have resumed on the second Tuesday each month, and our club stand will be at the Warlingham Rugby Club Classic Car and Bike Show in July.
Here are the dates for your diary.
Club nights are moving to the second Tuesday each month, so the July 2021 meeting will be on Tuesday 13th July 2021.
Location – The Stepping Stones pub at Westhumble, just across the A22 roundabout from Box Hill, just north of Dorking, Surrey.
This month John Hirst will give a presentation on his experiences riding in Thailand! This starts at 8pm so please come early and get your seat before this.
STOP PRESS: Brooklands Show has beeen postponed until Sunday 15th August 2021 – please contact Ken if you are able to help on the stand and get free entry.

We plan to take the Club stand to the WRC Classic Car and Bike Show and if you’d like to exhibit your bike please contact Ken or Anthony. It will be our 5th year at this excellent local show and it is one of the highlights in our Branch year.
Save the date – Sunday 18th July 2021 – and visit the WRC website for more information.

Naturally you will all be aware of the ongoing government guidance to reduce the spread of COVID-19 so please take care to maintain social distance at all events, respect other peoples’ personal space, wash your hands or use hand gel, and avoid touching other peoples’ motorbikes as this could spread the virus.
And remember to bring your facemask for entering the pub, or if you find yourself unable to socially distance for any reason at any time.
Mike Duffel and his 1953 Model 30 Manx Norton
Welcome to the
Norton Owners Club’s Surrey Branch
Situated just a few miles away from the historic Brooklands Racetrack, where Bert Denly (pictured above) roared round the banking on his Model 18 Brooklands Special in 1925, we meet at The Stepping Stones, a great bike friendly pub at West Humble near Box Hill.
We organise rides out, quiz nights and visits to local places of interest.
Our members can offer a wealth of useful experience to help you with your Norton – old or new!
Come along to one of our club nights and see what we are up to and have a chat. New members or just interested in Nortons? Come along!
Or you can call or e-mail us at the address shown on the contact page.
You can be sure of a warm welcome whatever time of year!
If you’re interested in bikes and particularly the unapproachable Norton, on the page links on the left you’ll find plenty to whet your appetite and using the links on the right you will find our activities listed by dates.
