DEATHS:
I have just received information that David Bertram from Edinburgh – died in July 2017
You may have missed that Alan Carlaw, one of our Honorary Vice-Presidents and past Treasurer, had died on 6th July. There was Service of Celebration held in the Netherlee Parish Church on Tuesday 18th July 2017 which was very well attended by family, friends from Alan’s RAF days and a few of our VSMA members. He is survived by his wife Audrey, his daughters Alison, Sally and Debbie, plus respective husbands and seven grandchildren. Our thought go to them. He will be missed by all who had the pleasure of knowing him.
“An Appreciation” of Alan in a recent Glasgow Herald by a good friend of his Dugald Cameron which gives an insight into many of Alan’s interests other than Motorsport is available in Alan’s entry in Past Veterans.
Three Lochs on Sunday 20 August 2017
Jonathan Lord asked if I you could make a small addition to the RSAC Motorsport entry on the VSMA website? “It would be good if I could say that we organise the RSAC Scottish Rally and the Three Lochs Classic each year. He stated that he supposed the majority of members are a bit long in the tooth for the Scottish these days but hoped to see some of them on the Three Lochs on Sunday 20 August 2017”. I told him of the current problems with the website, but attach PDFs of the Regs and Entry Form below. Entries (free) close on 12th August.
As mentioned in previous Newsletters Charlie Young and Eddie Hawke have been busy organising their Autumn Run. I have been assured that there will be a minimum of route checks! As last year it will start at Gemmell’s Garden Centre (Stair) and will finish in Fenwick. The Regs and Entry Forms will be out very soon.That’s all folks.
No Funnies this time.
Yours Aye
Stuart Parker
