Adrian Ackland
It is with sadness that we inform you that Adrian Ackland passed away last Friday morning after a long illness. He was 82.
Adrian was an active member of the NDMC during the 1950's and early 60's when the club had a strong motorcycle membership. He still maintained a great interest in motorsport and attended the penultimate round of the Remedies Bar Motocross series in Mid September and the Motocross Des Nations at Materley Basin the following week, even though he was wheelchair bound.
Adrian was a Vice President of the Auto-Cycle Union, being re-elected on November 4th this year, and a Vice President of our South Western ACU Centre as well as Motocross Team Manager. In the past Adrian has held posts as the Centre Chairman and President and also represented the Centre as a National Management Council Delegate. Adrian is also known to many of us as the President of the Barnstaple and District Mens Skittles League.
Should anyone wish to make a donation in memory of Adrian this can be made by cheque which should be made payable to the South Western Centre ACU Benevolent Fund and sent to Mr D Ackland, Abscott, Shirwell, Barnstaple, EX31 4LE. This.will be shared between St. Peters Church and the ACU Benevolent Fund.
The North Devon Motor Club extend their condolences to Adrian's family.
