  1. re the dinner dance, mention by section ! pre 75, heres an old photo I found along with a load of others at one of those dinner do things. I can tell you that b in The Royal Arch Halls, in Queen St. Edinburgh. My dad is receiving the McVicar Trophy from Mrs. W Harper, the wife of the club president. Apparently the guy on the right of my dad is Mr. A.Lamb, who was the club president. I know these things because I have a newspaper cutting with the same photo. What the newspaper cutting doesn't tell the dear reader is that the lady with half her face hidden by the trophy was my dear old Mum, Nancy. She was p****d off with that photo till the day she died!!!!!!
  2. Cant believe the amount of knowledge there is on this Forum. And yes David Lumsden is bang on! Got your book on Friday, and have a a very enjoyable weekend going through it. Cant wait to show it to my big sis.(Fiona) A name I recognised was Jimmy Mulvie. So I'm guessing he was a pal of my dads. Another name I remember my dad talking about from my childhood was someone MacNamarra? Think he might have been a road racer?? A cracking book Big John. Cant believe I didn't know of it. Cheers!!
  3. Ah, the presentation dinners. I know I have some formal group photographs of these do's somewhere. Must dig them out, and post them here?? Great to hear from people who knew my old dad. Sadly he shuffled off in 1987, age 56. His last trials bike was a Bully 325 SM replica. KMO 6L, I think. I rode it in a trial in about 1986 and bust my pelvis, so never got back on it.
  4. Hi Big John. Struggling with replying to you. Would mlike to PM you to discuss more but this forum dont like me. Can you e mail me clanmaclean@virginmedia.com I may have some stuff you're interested in. calum
  5. Hi! Re Edinburgh St. Georges Motorcycle club, I think my Father was a member. His Name was A.M.L.Mclean, better known as Laurie McLean, and he was fairly active in the club in the 50's and 60's. He won a lot of stuff, and competed regularly in the SSDT. I wondered if any older members knew of him or the club? He was born and bred in Haddington, but moved to England in the 70's. He still competed in the SSDT till mid 70's, on a Montesa I think. I have a nice old pic of him on a Royal Enfield. Think it was about 1956, SSDT.Just doing a bit of Ancestry stuff. Cheers Calum Maclean
