The Saga of the 2023 NOC Calendar
Yeah, I know, kinda late in the year to be talking calendars, but just to make you aware, we still have some stock available, via NOC-Shop. UK cost is £5.00 incl VAT and postage to you – maximum price is £10 to our far-flung members around the world – see NOC-Shop for full-details
I’m pleased to say that we have re-instated the ability to accept cheques from members for all services from the NOC.
We now have a centralised solution with the assistance of our Membership Officer – Jill Woodward.
The mugs are back - with the classic advertisement campaign from the 70's on one side plus the NOC logo on the other side.
Available to buy from one to the full set of six.
The Norton Owners Club is on the look-out for a new Events Manager – this role primarily focuses on public-events, though a presence is sometimes maintained at closed-to member events, such as the Annual Rally, or closed-to-Norton events like Norton Day / Weekend.
The AGM for 2023 is booked for Sunday 16th April with the Branch Secretary's Meeting on the Saturday 15th April - both events will be held at the British Motor Museum at Gaydon.
