In my 'testing days it was a requirement (for 'clubman's licence' events) to join the organising club: I was therefore a member of ~20 MCs and although my 'main' clubs were Sunderland&DMC and Tynemouth we used to get all the newsletters and do events and meetings outside the ANECC events quite frequently. Never a free weekend ;-) > Russ grassed me up once when he saw me driving away from a > bird's house in Yarm about 6:00 a.m. one morning. Otherwise a really > nice and modest bloke. I never knew him well, what with him being a Senior Member, like, and very good at what he did; but he always came across as one of the good guys - free with advice and encouragement. He was certainly partly responsible for improvements in my car handling skills. -- Pip: B12 |
