A Message from the President!

Barrie says thank you very much to all those of you involved with his roll at Silverstone yesterday.

I spoke to him this afternoon when he came to the recruiting gazebo and he asked me to post this message on his behalf as he is somewhat of a technophobe!

Did you see his car? He raced it again today and on the engine cover written in red duct tape was "This Way Up ^^^^^"

Dear God for an Observer you're awfully out of date

Stuart retired last year and handed over to Barrie.

Barrie has to be the best President we've had (and that includes Murray Walker).

I gather that Barrie has already started to embellish his tale. According to Rob Adaway, Barrie is now saying that while lying in the gravel under the car he was shouting "Get your ******* president out of here"!

Just sorry I missed it! I was on the phone reporting a lost wheel when I realised there was "a bit of a commotion". Popped out of the box, looked through the bridge and thought "Oh dear", not realising who it was!

Bless Barrie for wanting to experience at first hand his "troops" in action!

I can not believe the lengths that some BMMC Senior Club Officers will go to lay on a realistic training exercise!!
(Seriously, thank God you are o'k Barrie, and we can all have a laugh about your unfortunate experience!!)

According to Barrie what he really said was "I'm your President, get me out of here!" I believe there may have been several expletives thrown in there for good measure but I'll leave it up to you all to work out what they are and where they go!
