Hello All, <br>
<br>
I have been contacted by an old timers of the ICC, Hans Vennemann,
he is trying to find out about the Whereabouts of a fella called <font
face="Arial" size="2">
Howard Grimshaw. <br>
If you know anything give him an email. <br>
<br>
There are some good pics attatched, one of Lionel and another that
looks to have the Arnold rollers in it ( gees they have seen some
Km's) - are they the one and the same?<br>
<br>
Cheers Chris<br>
<br>

<div><font face="Arial" size="2">Hello Chris,</font></div>
<div> </div>
<div><font face="Arial" size="2">Some time ago I became a subscriber
to the club's mailings in the hope to spot a few names of fellow
riders and up until now there has been 2 </font></div>
<div><font face="Arial" size="2">Lionel Covington and one that my
father often mentioned, yours, an 'Allen', 'Don' or 'Chris', I'm
not sure as I can't ask him he passed on in 1993.</font></div>
<div> </div>
<div><font face="Arial" size="2">Lionel was a member of the pro club
and I spoke him only once which I'm sure he can't remember.
During one of our club meetings I </font></div>
<div><font face="Arial" size="2">suggested to introduce training
behind the scooter because of something that I had read and
could be beneficial to ones performance.</font></div>
<div><font face="Arial" size="2">My guinea pig </font><font
face="Arial" size="2">was Howard Grimshaw as he was a colleague
(he worked at 'the South Coast Times' and I at 'the Illawarra
Daily Mercury'</font></div>
<div><font face="Arial" size="2">he was also a pro.</font></div>
<div> </div>
<div><font face="Arial" size="2">In 1967 I won the 'Southern
Districts Sprint Championship' as track sprinting which was my
specialty. I rode the Muswellbrook-Tamworth </font></div>
<div><font face="Arial" size="2">as an Enfield-Burwood rider once </font><font
face="Arial" size="2">and finished 10th of course on a handicap
(I was glad that I was able to finish it)</font></div>
<div> </div>
<div><font face="Arial" size="2">I got married to my Austrian wife
and we decided to go on a working/racing holiday for 2 years on
an open ticket during this time </font></div>
<div><font face="Arial" size="2">we decided to stay but
unfortunately due to work commitments and family life wasn't
able to put 100% energy into the sport and after a few years</font></div>
<div><font face="Arial" size="2">became a recreational rider which
did me no harm (apart from the overweight).</font></div>
<div> </div>
<div><font face="Arial" size="2">At present I'm scanning all my
slides/photos and came across the pictures in the attachment and
was wondering if anyone knows the whereabouts </font></div>
<div><font face="Arial" size="2">or anything else regarding </font><font
face="Arial" size="2">Howard, he would also be close to 70 years
of age.</font></div>
<div> </div>
<div><font face="Arial" size="2">On that note wish you all the best
with the club and hope to hear from you.</font></div>
