David Butler has revised the British Motor Sports Association for the Disabled Web Site which can now be found at http://www.bmsad.co.uk

As most of us are getting older its worth looking at this site to see how are various conditions affect our competition licence. Trialler Neil Bray, who only has one arm, found them very helpful when he wanted to go racing and had to battle with the MSA.

Alan Davies

Alan died last week, finally loosing his long battle with cancer.

Alan started his life long interest in motor sport with Motor Cycles. The first time I met him was around 1970 when he was Autocrossing his daily driver, a new Mk1 Escort. Later Alan had dedicated Anglia and Escort Autocross machinery. He was very successful with these cars and dominated the London Counties Championship for many years.

In the long time he was a Falcon member Alan served the club in many of its offices, including the formidable job of taking over the chair from H. W. Tucker-Peake. In more recent years Alan steered the club through changing times when many clubs folded, guiding Falcons amalgamation with the former SODC trials group.

A gentleman in every sense of the word Alan was 83 when he died. He will be sorely missed.

The funeral  will take place Tuesday 29th September at 2.45pm at Harwood Park Crematorium, Watton Road, Knebworth, Herts, SG2 8XT

News of the Torbay Trial from David Haizelden - "Entries for the trial have been coming in at a great pace,40 in total.

With restarts for all classes on Tipley and Simms its going to be tough day."

A good time was had by all at the MCC's Testing Trial on Sunday with Bill Rosten achieving significant honours. Some regard this as a useful opportunity for testing including Dave Haizelden (pictured here by Dave Cook) who experimented with another ton of lead in the front bumper.
