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.

TLMole Editor Find out what the Editor does
Rick Smith
(aka '?')
 My name is Rick Smith, I have been a member of the Club since 1997, when I was "recruited" by Garry Connor. As a member of the Club, I have held two other NC roles, I became the Club Secretary under Dave Hebblethwaite, then the Show co-ordinator (North) position, both jobs had their own unique requirements, but I must confess to enjoying the Show co-ordinator role more. The chance to meet countless great people, Club members, Suzuki personnel, and numerous others. I am also the Centre Secretary for the Cumbria and The Borders Centre. Taking on the role of Editor was one that I never thought I would undertake, but now that I am getting familiar with the quirks of Quark, I am now starting to enjoy it. I came into motorcyling late in life, being 36 when I first started riding, then passing my test at 40, it was at this point I met Garry and cannot thank him enough for introducing me to the Club.

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

Mick Squires
(aka Ziggy)

Hello I am Mick Squires Events officer, "Ziggy" on the web site. I have been back into biking for the last 10 years and to be honest I live for my bikes. I currently ride a 1250 SA Bandit along with a Suzuki Address scooter for doing the shopping on. I am currently secretary of the Central Shires Centre. The events officers roles are to add to the boards events entered by the members and authorise them for the AT competition. Once the event has taken place I input the information from the AT sheets into the system ready for the annual Invader rally (which I organise) at the AGM the winners of each category of the Attendance trophy are announced, and trophy’s awarded. I also carry out a Welfare role, I visit members should they not be very well or perhaps had an accident. We are able to give members gifts to jolly them along or can even make a cash donation should the need be there to help them. All I ask of the membership is that they keep me informed as to where I could be of help as Welfare officer and I will do all I can to help.

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.
