Background |

Chairman -
Derrick Holden |
Derrick’s
lifelong interest in motors and motor sport led to his taking an
apprenticeship on leaving school with the local Vauxhall dealers. During
this time he was voted top national apprentice of the year and was one
of the first two men to pass both the Association of Motor Industries
and Institute of Road Transport Engineers’ final exam in the same year.
After progressing to Service Manager and a spell as an HGV driver, he
put his considerable and wide ranging knowledge to use in training
others, and now is contracted to teach R.E.M.E. (Royal Electrical and
Mechanical Engineers or as Derrick himself puts it –Rough Engineering
Made Easy), specialising both in transmissions and the latest all
singing all dancing M.A.N. truck. His motor sport experience includes
training as a scrutineer and preparing motor bikes for the race track. Derrick was
elected Chairman of the Group in 2006 |

Treasurer -
Pauline Jordan |
Pauline
says "At the
age of 50 I have never been or wanted to be on a motor bike, and then my
husband goes and gets one (mid life crisis) so it was a case of close my
eyes and try it or become a motor bike widow. So I gave it a try and
before you know I am pillion riding on the monthly ride outs and getting
involved on the committee as the treasurer. I have now opened a new
business (Bar & Cafe) so can't take part in the ride outs but I will
continue to do my best as the treasurer". We wish her well in both of
these endeavours. |
