CMCC Committee

This is not the post I wanted to write on a Monday morning. Unfortunately, our former secretary Simon Gaunt (Si) peacefully and suddenly passed away after a long battle with cancer on Sunday afternoon, surrounded by his wife Jo and close family.

Just two weeks ago, Si was still racing and enjoying what he loved most (aside from partying). His determination to fight against this illness truly reflected the kind of person he was. He had the kindest, most thoughtful soul, always putting others first. If there was ever a newcomer at the track, Si would be the first to offer help and guidance.

Even when people were feeling down, Si had the remarkable ability to make them smile. I am sure he will be deeply missed by everyone at CMCC and the wider RC community.

As a committee, we are going to grieve that he’s not with us, the majority of us have fantastic memories of him and some of the newer committee members too.

Our thoughts are with Jo and his family during this difficult time.
