Bluejon · 27th July 2023, 22:37

Date; 6th August 2023 10.00am

www.lakelandmotormuseum.co.uk

For those members who have attended past meets over the years pre-pandemic at the Lakeland Motor Museum & who will along with Jan,[Silvervixen] Myself, [Bluejon] Linda, [Pink Dutchess] & Brian [BRI] have fond memories of a very dear & well respected Friend of ours & many Freebyrd [Brian Alexander] whom we sadly & suddenly lost in October 2018.

Brian loved to visit the Lake District on a regular basis particularly staying around the Windermere area & each year regularly attending & supporting the Lakeland meet from its inception up to shortly before his sad & untimely passing.

It is with Brian in mind & on the approach to 5 years since we lost Him we therefore dedicate & rename this event & hopefully resurrect this meet to continue as an annual event once again. Below is a dedicated photo with Brian from the last meet we held there in 2018, sadly this was to be the last time we saw Brian, a great loss of a good Friend to us & many others indeed to the Club itself. RIP Freebyrd.

This will be the first meet back at the Museum since 2018 & consequently the first one without Brian attending, therefore if any other members wish to attend, along with members already on the list you are all very much welcome to come along in respect of Freebyrd, many thanks in anticipation to everyone,take care & hope to see as many of you that can possibly make it along.

PS; I you wish to attend could you please add your name to the Cumbria RS for your name to be added to the list, many thanks.

Regards on behalf of.....Jan, John, Linda & Bri.

Just thinking that, can't believe its five years since Brian left us. He quite often stopped at mine for a natter if he saw me in the garage when he was out for a drive.

I remember he kept his tourer in a lock up away from his house and after he passed nobody knew where the hell it was.
