Devon & Cornwall Wings

Goldwing Owners Club of Great Britain

 

See you at the 2010 Treffen. Wadebridge. Cornwall

Devon & Cornwall Wings became a region of the GWOCGB in October 1981 with 3 people sharing the role of Rep, meetings were held in Plymouth.  Since then we have had 11 different Reps, 10 different meeting places from pubs via schools and cafes to hotels, run 9 Dropouts, 14 Wing Dings and helped organize 3 Treffens.

We’ve raised money for numerous charities and been challenged to a basketball match in wheelchairs, appeared on local TV, sailed in a raft race, flown in gliders, done Easter Egg Runs and carnivals, even a John’O’Groats/Land’s End run.  Usually when out on a local run we land up with breakaway groups but always manage to meet up in the end for tea and a laugh.



• We’ve been ‘hatched, matched and dispatched’, with weddings being obviously the most enjoyable and decorative!  Some of the children of early members now let their parents out to play again as they don’t need babysitting anymore.
  
  Members from our region have taken on national roles of Treasurer, BMF Rep, Archivist, Vice-President and Chairman of GWOCGB.  Our 1983 logo endures to this day as does Devon & Cornwall Wings, we’ve had our ups and downs and change of membership but we seem to be around for the duration – it’s too far from here to go anywhere else!
