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.
