Stewart De Jong

Head Road Captain and Assistant Director

I’m Stew and I’ve been the Head Road Captain for Oxford Chapter for the past few years. In 2024 I’ll also be taking on the role of Assistant Director. I’ve had a number of Harley’s since I first joined the Chapter in 2005 and presently ride a Roadglide ST. As Head Road Captain I’m supported by an enthusiastic team of Road Captains and Road Marshals whose responsibility it is to facilitate the Chapter rides and events that make up our riding calendar. These can be anything from our normal weekend and Wednesday club rides to bigger events like the ‘Toy Run’, which we hold annually. If you’re new to the Chapter then I hope to meet you on one of our ride-outs soon.

Dave Mabbett

Treasurer

I’ve been riding motorbikes since I was 17 and returned to riding in 2005 after a few years off raising a young family. I was an ardent BMW rider and owned several 1200RT and 1200GS bikes. I introduced my wife, Ali, to motorbiking in 2009 and over the years, we did many tours and adventures on our BMWs. In 2016, Ali rode a Harley Sportster and immediately fell in love with it. She persuaded me to try a Harley, although I wasn’t a fan at the time, and I was hooked. I now own a RoadKing and find it fun to ride and very comfortable. I like the laid back riding style and the enjoyment of pottering while wallowing in the sound only Harleys can make. I joined the Chapter in 2017 and was immediately made to feel welcome and I enjoyed the varied social and group riding scene. I am now a complete convert. I became Treasurer when the position became vacant in late 2017 and I am happy to continue to do my bit for the Chapter and its members going forward. I look forward to getting back to some form of normality and  can’t wait for group ride-outs and social gatherings.

Janette King

Secretary & Membership Secretary

My husband Martin and I joined the Oxford Chapter in 2017.  I have always liked Harleys but was never keen to ride pillion on any motorcycle, until Martin got his Low Rider in 2017 – then it all changed.  After the initial apprehension of getting on the bike, you cannot now get me off it (and apparently I am the perfect pillion!).  We try and get out riding as much as we can – even if it’s just a short ride to a pub.

I became Membership Secretary in 2019 and Secretary in 2020.

Paul (Mac) McAnuff

Merchandise

Hi, I’m Mac & I first got involved with the Oxford Chapter in 2018 having ridden a sports bike before the draw of Harley led me to purchase a Sportster Iron and I spent the summer first riding to Thunder In The Glen and then exploring the NC500.

Charmaine Till

Webmaster

Hi all

I am Charmaine and I have been a member of the Chapter for over 10 years and started out riding as a pillion with my hubby Neville. I now ride my own gorgeous red Sportster and look forward to riding many miles on my Betty Boop.

Martin Fisher

Safety Officer and Historian

Hi all

I started riding motorcycles over 40 years ago and have had many different bikes over this time but always wanted a Harley but thought I could never afford one until 2014 when I bought a bike from the Oxford dealership, I then joined the Oxford HOG chapter and have been a member ever since.

My journey through life took a turn for the worse in 2016 when I snapped my right Achilles tendon. After a long recovery and seven months of physio learning to walk again you start to think about your and other peoples Safety, I was medically retired from my job as a postman after thirty nine years but now am working for South Central Ambulance Service. Many thanks for your support.

Ride safe Martin

David O'Dell

Photographer

I’ve been in and around bikes since the age of 16, riding, building, buying, selling and even racing.

Leigh Gough

New Members Officer

Hi, I’m Leigh. I first got into bikes at a young age due to my Grandad being a biker and starting riding when I was 16. Life got in the way of riding, and I got married and had my children, so I never really had the time to ride. But now that they have grown up, I can get back to it again. So, I brought my First Harley in 2021 and joined the chapter in April 2022 thanks to a chance meeting with Chris and Anne. I ride a 2021 Sport Glide and love it. Now I have become the new members officer and look forward to what comes next.

Pam Banfieldcoombs

Ladies of Harley Officer

Hi everyone. I am Pam and very pleased to be taking over the Ladies of Harley role from Charmaine. I have been riding bikes for 20 plus years and then took a break for around 15 years whilst the kids grew up and returned back to biking and my first Harley just over a year ago. It took me some time to find the right bike and now I’m the proud owner of a Harley Davidson Street Bob named Bobbie and already have sights on my next bike which will enable me to go on longer trips. Bobbie doesn’t really have much room for luggage sadly.

I look forward to getting to know you all better and hopefully seeing you on many rides and events throughout the year.

HOG Manager
