I'm sad to report here that Mike passed away on Saturday 16th June.

Mike was a regular and highly popular figure around the UK classic bike shows and autojumbles with his polishing equipment and self manufactured stainless steel fasteners. It was only a few weeks ago that he told me that he had been a lap record holder around the original Oulton Park short circuit.

Martina has had difficulty determining from a very dirty polishing compound finger-marked telephone book who in it are friends, customers or both and she would want all of those who knew Mike to be aware of his passing.

The funeral arrangements are this Wednesday 4th July at 12:25 at Lincoln Crematorium. Family flowers only with any donations to the Manx Motorcycle Club.

The short bereavement announcement in the Lincolnshire Echo can be found here; http://www.thisisann...ource=clmi_tili

Any queries please address them to me firstly through here or by PM.

Paul Wilkinson.
