Tricia Greenslade...

Sadly Tricia Greenslade passed away on 19th November 2005, after a courageous battle against illness. Our thoughts and sympathies go out to husband Dennis and all the family. Dennis and Tricia have been stalwart members of our club for many years, and almost every year attend our dinner dance evenings, usually bringing several friends with them, and entered numerous Exmoor Trials and other events, but few, if any of us, knew the extent of Tricia's achievements.

She acted as navigator for Dennis in many classic trials, winning the national championship four times, more than anyone else. Together they achieved the record for the 'tip to toe' John o'Groats to Reggio de Calabria in Italy. In March 1986 Tricia became the first - and only - lady to complete a solo non-stop drive from Lands End to John o'Groats and back.

In 1988 they raised £24,000 in just 24 hours for Children in Need, and in just two events amassed almost £100,000 for Macmillan Cancer Relief with their popular Cape to Cape classic tours. In July this year Tricia determinedly overcame her pain and tiredness to attend a Buckingham Palace Garden Party with Dennis where they both recieved Macmillan Gold Bows, the highest awards for volunteers who have helped the charity.

Tricia always had a ready smile, and always had time for people. Her departure from this life will leave a huge unfillable void, for Dennis and the family, for motorsport, and for charitable organisations everywhere.
