We are saddened to share the news of the sudden death of long-time Club member Ronnie Kirkpatrick on 26th December 2021.

A former two-time Overall Club Champion (1984 & 1988), Ronnie was also our most successful 12 Car Champion Driver with nine title wins between 1986 to 1998 whilst competing with Davie Sloan. More latterly, Ronnie was a loyal part of our Marshalling team, joining us on Rallies, 12 Car events, and the Targa.

Ronnie’s funeral will take place at Penpont Church (DG3 4BJ) on Wednesday 19th January at 12 noon, followed by interment in the Churchyard. All friends are respectfully invited to attend.
