I am so sorry to hear this news, I really enjoyed my chats with Roger when I went round to visit to get my body shells sprayed, always a brew on offer and always wanting to show me his latest invention in the shed.
Our deepest condolences to Stu and family, he will be greatly missed by all the racers in the North West.

I'm so sorry Stu :( I never met anyone quite like Rodger with such an awsome dry sense of humor. A true one off.

Very sorry to hear about your old man Stu, my condolences to both you and your family.
I've had the pleasure of being told off my Roger many years ago for running 1/8 on the older Bury Metro track, back when I didn't know much better of course! I've also had the pleasure of having really interesting chat's with him when he's been into the shop to discuss the club, I can't recall ever meeting anyone more enthusiastic about this hobby and undoubtedly he will be very sorely missed.
I know my sentiments are also true from everyone else at BMM and we all wish you and your family all the best. :)

Sorry to hear the news Stu.
Rog will be missed - partly for his commitment to Bury and racing, partly for his sense of humour but mostly because nobody will be able to figure out how any of his inventions work.
It really is a great loss.

Shocked by the sad news. I've known Roger since we started racing over 20 years ago. Roger always had a cheery word (or 3) and was always good for a bit of banter. His commitment to Bury club was total and he took no messing from anyone. He will be sorely missed. Condolences to his wife and family.

PS Stu. Can you announce funeral details when known please. Can't promise to attend but will if I can.

Hi guys...
Managed to see Stu and Jen this evening.... And have a good chat about a few things.
Stu has pointed out that in the last 13+ years that Roger has been Race Controller... He only missed 1 meeting due to ill health ....
Stu has asked if this Sundays meeting could go on as normal as this would be what Roger would want to happen.
So can i ask for everyone to gather the troops spread the word and show their gratitude for everything that Roger did for the club by turning up on Sunday
