National Committee

The Suzuki Owners Club is run by a National Committee, who are all unpaid volunteers from the membership. Each Committee Member is responsible (loose description) for certain aspects of the Club. The National Committee is elected once a year at the Suzuki Owners Club Annual General Meeting.

If you have a particular query by all means feel free to write or email them with your question and they will try to respond at soon as possible. The Club address is at the bottom of this page, or try the contacts page for more specific contact details.

Reactorman National Secretary Find out what the National Secretary does
Garry Connor
(aka 'Reactorman')
I joined the SOC in 1992, although I had been riding Suzuki’s since 1979 – I had the first GSX750 in the UK when they were launched that year.
I have owned various other marques including Honda CBX1000, YamahaXS650 US Custom, I have never owned a Kawasaki, don’t know why, perhaps the old “rubber” frames of the ‘70’s machines put me off.
Suzuki is the bike for me, if you cut me in half, it would be like a stick of rock – Suzuki all the way through, after a brief excursion with a GT250 I moved to my GSX750, since then I have owned GSX1100, GS1000, GS750, another GSX1100 & GS1000, then I moved to more modern stuff, a GSX750F, RF900 and my pride and joy now is a GSX1400
I try to get out to events when work and family commitments allow, but from where I live in the Lake District I have an hours travel before I even reach a motorway, I know they are mind numbingly boring, but they are the fastest way to get from A to B, I do however participate in as many of our local “biking” events as possible, usually MAG events as we do not have a BMF section around here. I have worked on the club show stands at the NEC, Stafford, BMF show, Scottish bike show, and Kelso Bikefest plus loads of other events where the club is promoted.
The SOC is to me THE best club in the world, promoting the best make of bike in the world.
If you see me out and about at events, come up and have a chat – none of us bite – honest. If you have a club related problem e-mail me and I will see if it can be resolved, if I don’t know the answer I will take it to the NC for you and we should be able to sort it there for you.

John Rowlands
(aka 'TenorSax')
I come from a small village called Crosby in Liverpool
I am married with 4 children and 2 grand kids
I started biking when I was 15 with a BSA bantam and had various bikes over the years wish I had some of them now, although in recent years the bikes have been far and few between but my passion for them has never waned I now ride a 1980 GS 850 gt
And also I have just bought a 2003 1200 bandit in green that needs a little attention
I have been a member of the club since June 2003 which is a relatively sort time compared to some but feel that it is my duty to give something back to the club, for what I get out of it
Every riders right is important to them as an individual but ever more so as a club
You can make all our jobs in the national council easier by supporting the club as much as possible, in what ever capacity you see fit because as the say you only get out what you put in

Hello I am Mick Squires Welfare officer, "Ziggy" on the web site.

I am currently secretary of the Central Shires Centre, this centre was set up during 2005 and has gone from strength to strength.

Andy Eggleden Classics Reporter
Andy Eggleden
(aka 'Locomotion')
I joined the club in 1996 after buying my GS1000. I like classics and am enthusiastic about the club and the bikes. I`m an upright rider as I find sports bikes uncomfortable. I took this role on because I can do it in my own time and feel I have something to offer. Current bikes are 1980 GS1000EN, 1978 GS750DB and a 1991 DR800SM.
