In Memory of Derek Vansittart

Mudeevee’s last ride out

In memory of Mudeevee, Derek, Del, Vance or what he was known to you as, there will be a ride out to follow his funeral cortege on the 2nd Nov 2018. All types of bike are welcome on this run.

Please start to assemble from midday outside the family home at 92 Woking Road, Guildford GU1 1QL, there is quite a bit of parking on the road if required. We will then follow the cortege to Guildford Crematorium, New Pond Road, Godalming GU7 3DB for the service at 1.30pm.
You are then invited to the wake at The Manor Inn Beefeater, Godalming GU7 3BX afterwards.

No flowers please but donations to Phyllis Tuckwell Hospice. You can find the link on the Funeral Zone website.
www.funeralzone.co.uk and search for Derek John Vansittart.
For more details please contact Maino on [email protected]

I will bring my wallet.

Could the surry group, maybe use some of the group funds (Or do a sponsor day/event) to sponsor a plaque, or sponsor a lane? something along those lines maybe?

Thanks everyone for contributing generously to the club night collection for Derek’s charity, we raised £219.62. I’ll check in with Maino and ensure this gets to the charity.

Thanks also for the suggestions as to how we remember Derek especially Simon and Shaun. We agreed a Longest Day run next Summer using the routes Derek plotted, and to look into either naming an unnamed byway or having a plaque placed on or near one of the local byways. I will also see if we can get enough photos and tributes/anecdotes together to create a photo book (I will start a separate thread for that tomorrow).

I’ll reach out to other TRF contacts who may have known Derek to pass on the details of the funeral.

Found this and yes we'll be there, love to ride dirt bike though worried about too much road work and mousses exploding again!

Hey Dom!
Thanks for the last minute joining in. Great to get out & about in Surrey hills again. Splendid leading as well Dom. Good job matey!

Thought Pippa did really well for only her 2nd ride out. Not long before you outgrow that bike and Andy will need to get you another. He he.
Cheers all
Derek

As per earlier post, please send me anecdotes and photographs of Derek, I hope we can get enough to make a book.

Please send full resolution pics to [email protected]

Hoping to get as many pics and anecdotes.
Thanks

A few have asked about dress code for Dereks funeral, it doesn’t matter what you turn up in , it’s more important that you turn up . I will be wearing my dirt bike stuff and I think Derek would be more than happy with that.
