    Keith Pickin, RIP

    By Guest, in Trackdays,

    It is with deep regret that we extend our deepest sorrow and condolences to Gill, Geoff and Steve for the untimely death of husband and Dad, Keith Pickin, as a result of asbestosis. The last year has been an absolute trial for all of them.
    Such was the dedication of the Pickin family though, it was business as usual at club trackdays.
    Many of you will know Keith, or will have spoken to or contacted him at club trackdays with Gill or to progress club membership, as Keith’s efforts in the club for club members has been huge; membership secretary duties; assisting Geoff with the organisation and running of Club track days; collecting and administering NtL donations for track day passenger rides. A kind, gentle and humorous man, Keith will be sorely missed by everyone who knew him.
    This is the first death in service of a management team member and a very sad time in the history of the club. Trackday passenger ride donations to NtL will now be referred to as the Keith Pickin Memorial Fund.

    Bionic MattyP's London Marathon

    By Guest, in Club Charities,

    Matthew Plummer London Marathon: http://www.justgiving.com/bionicmattyp Matt says:
    "The result is that I completed in a time of 4 hours 09 minutes 10 seconds. Very weary and hot! ran the final mile and a half under so much pain I don't want to be in that state again.
    The weather was against us being a lot hotter than the rain we expected & hoped for. We shall see if we can make it to £2000 when all comes in.
    Thanks again."
    Fantastic result Matt!!  The total so far pledged is now over £600 so there is plenty of room for more donations. Come on chaps, do your stuff!

    Don Brazier, RIP

    By Guest, in Club Charities,

    There is no easy way to impart the sad news of a club member’s death. We should just hold on to the thought that Don Brazier felt so much affection for the friendship with all you guys through 7 ownership, that he wanted any donations as a result of his death to be used to support the club’s charity efforts.
