Hartwell Motorcycle Club
Victorian Club Racing at its Best
The GREG BAILEY Award
The Greg Bailey trophy is contested at Club level by expert, some non-expert and several selected novice riders. The Perpetual trophy is the actual cup awarded to Greg in England for his 3rd place in the Shell Championship in 1977. Greg was a keen club rider who moved to the UK to compete. The Greg Bailey event is very competitive within the Club and riders of the highest calibre competing to win this prestigious event. For those of you that don’t know the history, Greg sadly died in the Derby Royal Infirmary as a result of an accident at Donnington Park Race Circuit in November 1978 having collided with another rider during an event. Hartwell Club members donated a large sum of money to Greg’s Mother to enable her to travel to England in the hope that her presence would assist Greg to come out of his coma. Unfortunately, he failed to ever regain consciousness. Greg was sponsored by VIC Camp of VIC Camp Motorcycles in Walthamstow and was a great favourite of the many fans who attended English race meetings. Wes Brown, Club Secretary at the time had the honour of presenting a trophy to the winner of the BBC sponsored race to honour Greg Bailey at the Brands hatch circuit in 1980. Wes was also interviewed on the same day by the BBC commentator and was able to spread the name of Hartwell Motorcycle to a big audience.
