WHO WAS MIKE HAILWOOD? - birminghamtestersrun - 09-03-2010
History teaches us that we soon forget!
A couple of years ago after THE MIKE HAILWOOD MEMORIAL RUN a group of young riders on Japanese bikes approached me and thanked me for the run, which in itself is quite unusual, one said,
"By the way, just who was Mike Hailwood?"
It was a salutory reminder to me, why we hold this memorial run every year.
So please, do not let this great man be forgotten.
THE 29th ANNUAL MIKE HAILWOOD MEMORIAL RUN
SUNDAY MARCH 21st 2010 from
THE FORMER NORTON WORKS
Bracebridge Street, Aston, Birmingham at 11.20am
to
TANWORTH IN ARDEN
Where Mike (and his daughter Michelle) are buried.
Tanworth in Arden is probably one of Warwickshire's most beautiful villages and THE BELL public house is opposite the church. The singer/songwriter Nick Drake is also buried here.
