moomin man 76 Posted December 8, 2016 Report Share Posted December 8, 2016 Sad to hear of the passing of Fred Brand - I passed on a significant number of spare programmes that I'd collected of meetings that Fred had ridden in for Yarmouth and Norwich to his grandson, as part of his surprise 90th birthday celebrations. A good team rider and a World Finalist to boot. He will be missed by many, myself included. Sincerest condolences to his family. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
