40-up for Victorian Norton club

-

After becoming a COVID victim last year, the Norton Owners Club of Victoria finally managed to celebrate its 40th anniversar­y on February 26th, 2022. The club has published its own magazine, The Oily Rag, since around the time when 37 people gathered for the first club meeting on 14th October 1981. One of those was Chris Grubb, who was presented with Life membership at the 40th Anniversar­y meeting, held at Oakleigh Bowling Club. Today, the club boasts around 140 members, and has organised many functions and rallies, including the Norton National Rally on several occasions.
