Facebook site now set up for the ‘Norton Owners Club Yorkshire Branch’
Thanks to Russ Ward for setting up the new branch Facebook site, you can now easily let us know what you are doing with regard to your Norton or just keep up to date with things that other members are doing. Branch activities are also being posted on the pages.

Ride Out 27th August
Five bikes (7 people) attended the ride out which the weather forecast predicted would be dry (it was wrong!!!), The first stop was at ‘The Carding Shed’ at Hepworth near Holmfirth which is well worth a visit for classic vehicle fans (hence the pic above). Heading into the High Peak area of Derbyshire the rain started to fall leaving Glossop and never stopped after that for the duration of the ride out. 90 miles were covered on the run on great roads (even if a lot of them were wet!).
