Neil Benfield Sad News

I just had the very bad news that Neil Benfield the driving force behind the Borough 19 Motor Club has died today. Neil will be sadly missed by all, condolences to his family and friends, our thoughts are with you.
This is a great loss to motorsport and also on a personal level.
Graham.

Very sad news indeed.

Neil did so much for Borough 19 motor club and motor sport in the south east.

He will be sorely missed.

I haven't known Neil for very long but he was a great guy and always had time for a natter when he was stewarding our meetings.

He will be sadly missed. Thoughts are with Rosie and the rest of his family.

RIP Neil.
