A little Competition Question for you all.

On returning from an excellent Bentley Drivers Club at Silverstone - Great Cars, Great Racing, Great Weather and most of all Great People - it occurred to me that there were 6 MSCC Competition Secretaries present, spanning the last 30 years !

Anybody (past and present Comp Secs excluded) care to name any or all of them ?

As a Starter I'll give you the first one

1 - Andy Garlick circa 1976
2 -
3 -
4 -
5 -
6 -

Kelvin Laidlaw, Peter Sargeant, Tony Oliver, John Goodman and er, I don't think I'm old enough to know any more ....

Good start Chris - not sure Kelvin was Comp Sec though, he took over from me as Awards Secretary (did a much better job and didn't manage to insult anybody !).

1 - Andy Garlick circa 1976

4 - Peter Sargeant
5 - Tony Oliver
6 - John Goodman

Thanks Jack - even though you were not there I knew I could count on you.

Leigh, scattergun approach sometimes pays dividends...

1 - Andy Garlick circa 1976
2 - Andy Downes
3 - Rick Bourne
4 - Peter Sargeant
5 - Tony Oliver
6 - John Goodman


If there were any other Comp Secs around, then I don't know them ! as I wasn't interested in Motor Racing pre-Garlick.

Have Fun

I think Martin Wyatt might have been a Comp Sec at one time.

Mary,

I think you're correct (after Rick and before Peter ? or before Andy Garlick ?) - but was he at Silverstone on Saturday ?

Before Andy Garlick and I don't know if he was there or not. He might have been, it's the sort of meeting he usually goes to.

Andy – is this going to be a new thing ? A little quiz to test our observation after the race meeting. How many times did Sarge junior spin ? Who was first out for Morgan practice ? How many races did the Bryants enter ? Who has the biggest camper van ? How many kids did Tony Lees have with him ? What was the logo on Sharlie’s tee shirt ?

And perhaps an end of season trophy for the overall quiz winner.

Maybe he's serious Andy. In which case he will have carefully chosen questions to which he already knows the answer.............

I just thought it might be easier than winning a Morgan race
