Hamish was one of the stalwarts of West Surrey. He first rode with the club in 1953 and was Runs Secretary from 1963-69. In 1973 he married Gillian, the daughter of club President and founder member, Bill Inder. In 1987 Hamish’s employer, British Aerospace, was closing its Weybridge site and Hamish was transferred to Filton. At the end of the club’s Annual Report for 1987 Marguerite Statham detailed Hamish’s and Gillian’s considerable contributions to club life. Hamish continued to ride with Bristol CTC, and they both visited Woking from time to time while Bill was alive, not so often thereafter. Hamish joined Russ Mantle on tours to the Lake District etc, both taking boots as well as bikes. He was a good photographer, a regular contributor to W Surrey slide shows. Always good company, Hamish will be missed. Our condolences go out to Gill and the family.
