I've been meaning to join the forum for a long time and this sad news prompted me. Reg lived close to me when he used to hire bikes at the Eastbourne Training
School back in the early 70s. I would go round to his and help clean the bikes, and he persuaded me to get on one and 'have a go'. With his help and guidance I progressed to the National League, where he would still give advice on what I did good and not so good and even excluded me a couple of times when he was refereeing.
This usually ended with a telling off after the meeting! Unfortunately, we lost touch after I stopped riding. I have fond memories of Reg, a good steady and reliable rider, a good teacher but most importantly a great guy.
My thoughts go to his family and friends.
