As some of you know Willie Cosh and myself have been asked to head up the delivery of the book for our centenary year.

 

Even though this is not until 2026, this is a project that should be given plenty of time to produce an outstanding product.

 

To this end, we are keen to hear from individuals who would be keen to help. We would gratefully appreciate help in the following areas:

 

1. Writing a chapter on an era of the club.

2. Thoughts and a chapter on the future of the club.

3. Discussion/debate on the top six clubs greats.

4.Writing a chapter on the technical side of the bikes (i.e. changes over the years).

5. Artistic content - whether it be cartoons or poetry

6. Compile a sporting roll of honour.

7. Compile full list of members, old and new throughout the world.

8. We have tons of photos and need some help in sorting these out.

9. A wee comp to design the best front cover. This to be judged by a panel.

 

If anyone is interested in helping with the above, please drop either myself or Willie a quick note.

Gents, I'd be happy to help. I have tons of old pics - many of which are already on the website. I was a racing member from 1983 to 1990 and again from 1995 to 1998. I think I was club secretary at one point during my second spell?

 

It would be good to include members who raced for Scotland and Great Britain?

Thanks for that and certainly would be of great interest for the book.

 

The ones that raced for Scotland/Great Britian could be another chapter (not sure how many we are talking about...I know of three off the top of my head

 

However, these individuals may also feature in the top 6 greats.

 

Where do you live?

 

Cheers

Grant
