Peter Morrish RIP

[HGould 2,213]

Sad to read news that Peter has passed away. 

Highly respected around the West Midlands Tracks over many years. 

A pioneer and long time Co Ordinator of the 3td Tier NDL which grew and produced many fine Riders under his period in Office. 

A lovely gentleman to talk to as well. 

Thoughts with his family and friends.

Oh no, was only thinking of him the other day while I was at Wolves and wondered what had happened to him as he used to do a bit there after Coventry finished.

Was the voice of Coventry Speedway during my years there

Sad news indeed...remember him as announcer at Coventry for many years beford Dave Hammond took over.

RIP

Peter was the NDL co-ordinator for many years. A lovely man, gentle and kind.

I seem to recall that he once published a statistical book on the sport?

That is a brilliant book. I had some correspondence with Peter in 1985 regarding a photo caption error. If anyone is interested Page 106 Weymouth 1955 for Gerald Pugh read George Hutchinson who was a second halfer only at Weymouth
