With great sadness I have to announce that Greg sadly passed away on Monday 21st May in a road traffic accident. He was a passenger in the vehicle, and died at the scene, in Crow Lane (Romford) at ~ 8pm. My deepest condolences go out not only to Mike and Mandy, but also to the other families who are suffering at this time.

I'm sure you will agree that this is a great loss to us all. Greg started attending events, aged ~13, in the company of Mike Thomas and one of several Peugeot 205's. In 2010 he won the Club's annual autotest championship and the Junior clubman's championship (a great improvement on his 2009 award). In more recent times he was competing the Gymkhanas with Mike, and the 12 car series in the company of Pat Tierney. Also regularly seen around the pits crewing and helping wherever he could - always with a cheeky grin / never with a bad word to say.

Greg was 17, was studying at the Thames Gateway Motorsport college, and was planning his driving test. I'm sure he had a very bright future ahead of him.

For those who wish to attend the funeral will be held on ~Tuesday 12th June, in Pitsea, at Mid-day. I understand the family welcome all comers. For full details please just drop me a note at
