It is with deep sadness that I must let you know of the death of Club Trustee Donald Reid at the weekend. He was respected by many across motorsport and beyond and will be sorely missed by all of us in SMMC.

Donald ReidIt is with deep sadness that I must let you know of the death of Donald Reid at the weekend.

Donald joined the Club in 1990 along with his great friend, and brother-in-law, Alastair Gray (think Laurel and Hardy / Morecambe and Wise).

Donald became a Director of the Club in 2011 and was appointed Social Convener, organising events up to the Curry evening in early December. He was a very active member of our Motorsport Rescue Team, and using his knowledge and skills he became a Mentor for Rescue Trainees.

He was respected by many across motorsport and beyond and will be sorely missed by all of us in SMMC.

I am sure you will join me in passing on condolences to his wife Moira, son Blair, sisters Janice and Alison, and their husbands Alastair and Hamish. You can leave a tribute or share your memories at https://in-memory.smmc.org.uk

Funeral details will be circulated as soon as we know them.
