Dear NOC people
Many of you will already know, but I’m sending this message to all NOC members in our area for whom I have contact mail addresses. It is to let you know that Surrey Branch member Mike Duffell died earlier this week. R.I.P.
Mike had been in poor health for some time but he continued coming to Branch meetings until very recently. He had been a Surrey Branch member since the Branch was founded in 2008. He will be sadly missed. Below Mike can be seen with his Norton Manx Single.
We have not heard about funeral arrangements yet but will post them when we do.

Our next Branch meeting at The Stepping Stones, Westhumble, will be on Tuesday 20th August 2024 (Please note……our regular meetings have moved to the 4th Tuesday each month).
Generally the gathering starts at 8pm but at this time of year, Branch members tend to take advantage of the extra daylight to turn up from around 7.00pm and show off their pride and joy or latest project.
All welcome to attend this special free event!
Ardingly News
Our stand at the South of England Classic Motorbike Show and Autojumble at Ardingly on Sunday 24th March hosted 23 Nortons, many ridden to the show, and a good time was had by all – even better because the sun shone! Photos to follow soon.
These shots are from the October 2023 event.
Clubnights are on the fourth Tuesday each month (from January 2024).
Location – The Stepping Stones pub at Westhumble, just across the A22 roundabout from Box Hill, just north of Dorking, Surrey.

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.
