Southern 100 Club chairman and race secretary George Peach has been honoured for his dedication to motorcycle sport, especially his involvement with the Southern 100 for over 40 years.
George attended the island’s sports awards under the impression that he had been nominated for an administration award.
However he actually was given the ‘Lifetime Achievement Award’ in recognition of his service to the Southern 100.
Castletown born and bred, George joined the committee of the Southern 100 Motorcycle Club Ltd in 1982 he also took on the role of deputy chief club marshal (the chief marshal at the time was the Chief Constable in an honourary role) and continued in the position until 1989.
In February 2018, George Peach was elected chairman to replace Phil Taubman MBE, who was elevated to president.
