The funeral will take place on Tuesday May 4, at 2.00 pm in St. John's Church, Coltishall, followed by a private cremation and gathering at The Goat Inn, Skeyton.

The photo shows John and Joan with Hugh and Eunice Evans, weighing-in for the 1970 Senior TT. The BFRC won many club team prizes at the TT. I recall John and Joan always running firm, but fair race meetings. At one Lydden meet, Dennis McMillan was riding the Ongar 500 Honda in open races. One push on the seat, one push of the start button and he was gone! The next race, all on the line when John goes up to Mac, takes a thimble out of pocket and tapes it over the starter button! The next race, One push on the seat, one push of the start button and he was gone again - he had wired the starter to the horn button!
