IT is with sadness that l announce that Barry Quinton passed away peacefully at 5.30 am on Monday 31 July 2017.He was 82 on the 15th June . Barry had been for some time in a care home in Uttoxeter suffering from dementure. Barry was one of our oldest members he started riding with the Saracen in the latter part of 1950 .His name appears (paid up) on the membership list of 1951. He was mainly a club run and social man but I did hear that during my national service that he had done a 1-2-? in a 25 mile event. His first wife wife was the niece of our first club chairman Sid Pinches  Maureen also a club member they had 3-4 children.Barry was followed shortly after by his younger brother Tony a lifelong member until his death some 4 years ago. Following Tony's serious accident in1987 Barry was appointed by the court of protection as Tony's "receiver (administrator) .Many of you will remember Barry coming to club nights in the early part of this century and also the Christmas lunches at Kings Norton Golf Club along with Tony himself.   Goodby Barry and GOD BLESS.
