Very sadly John Tinley's future son in law Daniel Clack was recently killed in Afghanistan.
(Google You Tube with his name at Wootten Basset)
With that in mind, John set about raising some money for 'Help The Hero's' at Goodwood last weekend. Over the three days and with the help of his son Joe and other members of our group, and by offering members of the public to sit in one of his sidecar outfits whilst they were photographed for a donation, he raised a staggering £1600.
The biggest donation I saw was from a lady who had spent a bit too much time in the Champagne marquee and who insisted that we should all get a good view of her knickers. She put a £50 note in John's bucket....followed by another £50 note from her embarrassed husband.
I think John's daughter Amy will hand the money to the fund.
Well done John. I know you were a bit hoarse by Sunday evening. Ron
