Nick Jefferies was unanimously elected to serve the next term as President of the TT Riders Association, taking over from fellow 'Tyke' - and trials rider - Mick Grant. Nick will be installed at the TTRA Luncheon at the National Motorcycle Museum later this year, I gather this is a good 'craik' but have never managed to get the yet.
Had a good chat with Nick on Monday, a super enthusiast with a fund of stories and knowledge of the races, he is hoping to meet Helen and Malcolm whilst here as well as other members of the ttwebsite fraternity.
The Friends of the TT Riders Association had their AGM tonight, they have raised a significant amount of money which was passed to the TTRA for benefit of ex-riders who are perhaps not in the best of health.
Elwyn Roberts was here for a too brief visit to the TT; he is looking in rude health.
Also met Bernard Codd; 50 years ago he won the last two Clubman TTs on Gold Stars, they were both run on the same day, a double he shares with a few select aces, Charlie Williams, Mike Hailwood, possibly David Jefferies. This was mentioned when he chatted with Charlie Williams on Radio TT this morning.
Fred Pidcock, MGP competitor and I are currently working on a book chronicling the Clubman races, anyone out there with (suitable) stories to add? Nick has an anecdote concerning father Allan and Wilfred Pickles he is keen to share.
