Rip Bryn


Recommended Posts

This is desperately sad news. I think we had been hoping for the best while preparing for the worst, but it still comes as something of a shock.

Very difficult to find appropriate words having only just heard the news. What to say? Bryn was just a great guy, full of kindness and spark, a speedway fan (and Welshman!) through and through. Back in the day when I was covering Wolves for the E&S I had to arrange press facilities at the various tracks and Bryn was the person I dealt with at Lakeside. He was endlessly efficient and kind (Lakeside was easily the best organised track for visiting press, you could see where it came from) and I always used to pop into the office to say hello and get the craic!

I don't know if Carys and Andy follow the BSF at all but at some future date when they are able to draw breath and pick up the threads of their lives it may be of some comfort to them to read the personal memories already flowing onto the site from Dean, daytripper and so on. It would tell them something they may not have known, about the affection and regard with which Bryn was held in speedway circles, and something of which they were already aware, about what a great bloke he was. RIP Bryn.

Got to know Bryn very well over the years through him coming up with Waggy for our meetings, or me doing the southern tour with the Diamonds and meeting him at many tracks. I used to hop on the IOW track bus, after the ferry, and have a good catchup with him. He had a beautiful radio mike voice and he was generous with his comments and knowledge of the sport and it's anticipants. He was always supportive of things we were discussing on the BSF, and had many offline PM's to keep up to date. I think the first year he was unable to go to OZ for the winter was a message to him, and he had further trouble with his health due to infections and falls. He was a loyal and dear friend, and I think we will all miss his contribution to our sport.

 

RIP Bryn from your favourite Geordie.

I never met Bryn Williams but through his Posts on here it was clear that he loved his Speedway.

 

On a Thread some years ago he explained to me what 'Bundy' was - I have always remembered that.

 

R.I.P. + Bryn.
