CLASSICINS­URANCEBROK­ERS Footman James want to celebrate the champions in the classic vehicle community - from the members clubs couldn't do without, to the friend who always pops by in your hour of need.

Footman James will choose one person each week to celebrate, with that person receiving a Lego vehicle model of their choice up to £150 and a £150 donation to the charity of their choice.

Frank Hambleton, chairman of the Buxton Motorcycle Club was nominated by Stephen Edwards who said in his submission: "In the short time the club has been set up, he has built the club up to over 300 members, raising thousands for charity and getting people of all ages out on their bikes.

"He attracts some big names to speak at the monthly meetings and with his fellow committee members always puts on really good meetings and run outs. He is well known in the Buxton community as well. He is an all-round good bloke."

Frank was the chairman and secretary of the North
