Perhaps, as a Club, we can provide some message of support to his family?

Myself and Dudley attended Colin's funeral today. He arrived in true fashion and style tucked up inside a Sidcar, followed by some 30 bikes. It was a very well attended service with close to 400 family, friends and colleagues including some true legends, John Cooper, Sammy Miller and Phil Read but to name but a few.
After the service, the invitation was back to Brands Hatch for a buffet lunch to exchange memories and admire the display of some of his bikes.
Colin will be sadly missed but his memory and the name Seeley will live on in the motor cycle world for ever.
