BARRY JOHN

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.

Barry was elected to the Committee in 2001 and has been the Competition Secretary since 2005. He enjoys helping with organising and marshalling "which I enjoy regardless of long hours, mostly during wet wintry conditions in a forest."
