Attention Paddock.
The Armoy club are deeply saddened to hear the news that the voice of radio communications Valerie Crichton passed away peacefully this morning. Valerie has spent a lifetime involved in motorcycle racing and was rightfully awarded a British Empire Medal in 2019 for her services to Motorcycle racing. A stalwart, the eyes and ears for every Clerk of the Course at all the events, instrumental in many of the child protection policies adopted by our sport today and all this whilst providing a first class communication service to the highest level of professionalism and standard.
A truly wonderful lady who had the loveliest tone and manner with everyone, we’ll miss her dearly and we pass on our sincerest condolences to her husband and partner John and her wider family circle and friends.
