Was sad to hear the recent passing of Solway Fancier Jack Gilmour.. 

Jack won the Inaugural ‘Graham Hughes Memorial’ Trophy which the SDDC ran this year, and will continue to run. A trophy close to my heart in honour of one of my best friends late father.

We spent a lovely morning presenting Jack with his trophy and winnings.. a look round the loft and blether of days gone past. 

The family said that day meant that much to him that they put the photo of us together in the order of service. 

Getting even a bit emotional writing this, but that’s what doo racing is all about, the friendship it can bring, with moments  and memories to cherish forever. 

Certainly reaffirmed a real desire in The SDDC lads that we can be a positive force in the Sport. 

From Mick, Dennis Snr, Dennis Jnr, Andrew and myself….. Fly high and enjoy the big dookit in the sky Jack, you have earned it and I’ll think of you often with a smile. X
