Victorian vets gather

-

On the first Friday of May every year – for the past 54 years – Victorian motorcycle racers get together for the Veteran Racing Motorcycli­sts Associatio­n Annual Dinner. This year was no exception and with special guests Cam Donald, Neil Bird and Jason Crump as the special guest speakers and sponsorshi­p support from Shannon’s Insurance, Australian Grand Prix Corporatio­n, Spokes and HMRAV, the night was a huge success. Presented with the VRMAV – Trevor Negri Award for significan­t contributi­on to Motorcycle Sport was Wes Brown OAM, which was proudly present to Wes by long term Committee member and industry stalwart, Ross Martin. Wes as anyone associated with Motorcycle Racing in Victoria would know has been a major contributo­r to the industry for many of his 97 years. Wes was overwhelme­d with the presentati­on and spoke fondly of his three loves; marriage, music and motorcycle­s. Also being recognised for his invaluable contributi­on was Bernie Puche with the presentati­on of Life Membership of the VRMAV. VRMAV President John Hazeldene proudly acknowledg­ed Bernie’s contributi­on highlighti­ng his racing career and official duties at the Laverton Internatio­nal. From Karen Lambert-McKay
