Please havaluke at the write-up Bill Snelling got on the BBC website....

Well Done Bill, and good luck with your excellent new book "The History of the Clubmans TT Races 1947-1956" which has reminded me of the riders of my initiation era, Lou Carr, Alan Jefferies, Ewen Haldane, Frank Perris, Arthur Lavington and of course Geoffrey Duke.

The "Clubmans" was a series of races which are almost forgotten these days and therefore have deserved such a book to show what the full TT programme was like in those days.

I have a copy, thank you Bill, and have already tears in my eyes remembering these famous names who started off their TT careers as "Clubmen".
