7/9/09- Sad news

The Club has learnt today of the sad loss of Steve Barnwell who died of cancer on Friday 4th Sept. Steve was a member of this club for many years during the late 60's and 70's and rode Huskies and Maicos. He always had a cheerful face and was happy bantering with everyone. His two sons Jack and James are carrying on the sport where he left off.  His wife Penny and his family always offer to help at the clubs events where possible. He will be a sad loss to the club members and we all send our condolences to Penny and the family. 

Funeral details have yet to be arranged and we will let you know ASAP.
