Richard Coleman

By Bob Twigg

A sad day for everyone in the South Midland centre with the passing of Richard Coleman .

Richard joined the Berkhamsted club some years ago and rode in trials for many years. He rode a good selection of bikes and was always ready with a smile or a joke at events. He ran a successful car paintshop business in Hemel Hempstead and was always a friendly face at trials.

He encouraged Harry, his son with a selection of machines from a little Yamaha up to a modern Gas Gas.

Harry went on to expert status and represented the South Midland centre in several Inter centre team trials as a youth. Richard was always there at events to look out for him. Rich will be much missed at trials and our thoughts go out to his family at this sad time.
