Darren is an engineer, 32 years old, and unmarried. His first rally was spectating on the Three Rivers night road rally when he was 16, and he joined ADMC a few years later. He first competed (with Dai Wilmer) on PTMC's Red Dragon rally in 1995 - "what a night that was...".

Vice-Chairman
TERRY FRAYNE
(at the start of the
Navigation Scatter
February 2006)
"46 years old and going bald" was his 2nd attempt when his full-page life history was rejected as too large for this space. Terry joined the Club in 1978, and rallied a Mk1 Escort for some years, followed by a decade as a navigator.
Terry joined the Committee in 2000 and became our Club Secretary within a month.
Since 2005 he has put a lot of effort into the Road Rally Spectator Awareness Initiative to promote responsible behaviour, and he carries on this good work.

Barry (and wife Seyyan, below) joined the Club in 2001 to find out more about competing and marshalling on rallies. He built a Mk1 Escort for his first road rally in 2002, and soon advanced from Novice to Semi-Expert status. With the "unfortunate end" of the Mk1, he built his current green 4-door Mk2.
