A position he held for three years. He joined the Committee in 2000, taking over as Chief Club Marshal where he remained until the end of the 2009 racing …

However, since 1996 in the background, she has quietly worked away raising funds for the Southern 100 Supporters Club, which provides funds for purchasing safety equipment around the Colas Billown …

Whilst Steve Hislop, David Jefferies, Keith Huewen, amongst others decided the Billown Course was not for them, the three named were persuaded by MCN to test ride a number of road superbikes during the ‘friendly races’ in 1999. The trio appeared to enjoy themselves around the 4.25-mile course, including entertaining the fans with numerous wheelies being pulled during the laps between the races. Steve, David, and Keith are pictured with Club President, Derek Nicholson. (Photo courtesy of Southern 100 Archive)
