• Vintage, but not bikes though . . . just the covers to show you! I have complete programmes for three separate years!

  • It's surprising how often these dinner souvenirs turn up - it shows how important people felt these functions were.

    Only this year I was given a programme for my own first club's 1961 dinner (West Twickenham Road Club). I received a very minor prize (second place, Junior BAR) almost inevitably, at that time, presented by Eileen Sheridan.

    I was amazed to see this document - amazed that it should still exist and that some one (not a WTRC member) should still be interested enough to give me a photocopy and keep the original.

    I should add that the Junior BAR winner wiped the floor with me, and I don't think a third junior completed the distances.

    The decline of these prize presentation dinners goes hand in hand with the decline of domestic racing (i.e. non elite).
