Robin Parker (Red Spider) - Yorkshire AO Posted February 4, 2022 Posted February 4, 2022 This Sunday we are having a meeting at the Motorist for Gary Neal. Gary isn't a member, or a Westfield owner, he does have a very nice Cobra and is an integral part of the Yorkshire area non the less. He was unfortunately diagnosed with terminal cancer just before Christmas. It started with bowel and liver, and was told on Wednesday that it was now in his spine. I saw him on Wednesday and was told he had 2 weeks. Our normal breakfast meeting is on the 20th this month and Gary would normally be there so we are having an extra one this Sunday, 6th at the Motorist. I have reserved some parking space and a table in the cafe. I am hoping to get around 15-20 cars there at 10:30. There will be Westfields, Cobras and Minis. Gary is coming with me,but not in the Westfield. It is Gary who I hold responsible for getting me into this scene having taken me to the Le Mans Classic, Silverstone Classic and the Stoneleigh kit car show in 2012. 4 Quote

Popular Post Robin Parker (Red Spider) - Yorkshire AO Posted February 6, 2022 Author Popular Post Posted February 6, 2022 A big thank you to everyone who came along this morning. I know Gary, and his wife Ann were moved by everyone from the Westfield, Cobra and mini clubs being there and really appreciated it. The Motorist sectioned off part of the car park and 2 tables for us in the cafe. 11 3 Quote

Robin Parker (Red Spider) - Yorkshire AO Posted February 11, 2022 Author Posted February 11, 2022 I'm sorry to say that Gary passed away last night. Our thoughts from the Yorkshire area go to Ann, Rebecca and Josh. He will be sadly missed. 11 Quote
