Ollie was killed while in practice for the British Superbike championships at Mallory Park. he
sustained head and neck injuries.
"Ollie was a super chap and looked to have a great career in front of him. He was making great
strides in the sport,
"I'm just so sorry for his brother Tom and all his family, who I know will be absolutely

SO TRUE
Hello, Old Friend,
Oh, yes, you know
I lost my child a while ago.
No, no please
Don’t look away
And change the subject
It’s ok.
You see, at first I couldn’t feel,
It took so long, but now it’s real.
I hurt so much inside you see
I need to talk,
Come sit with me?
You see, I was numb for so very long,
And people said, “My, she is so strong.”
They did not know I couldn’t feel,
My broken heart made all unreal.
But then one day, as I awoke
I clutched my chest, began to choke,
Such a scream, such a wail,
Broke from me…
My child! My child!
The horror of reality.
But everyone has moved on, you see,
everyone except for me.
Now, when I need friends most of all,
Between us there now stands a wall.
My pain is more than they can bear,
When I mention my child,
I see their blank stare.
“But I thought you were over it,”
Their eyes seem to say,
No, no, I can’t listen to this, not today.
So I smile and pretend, and say, “Oh, I’m ok”.
But inside I am crying, as I turn away.
And so my old friend, I shall paint on a smile,
As I have from the start,
You never knowing all the while,
All I’ve just said to you in my heart.

Hey Ol
We went to the pictures on Friday to see Wall-E. It's a great film - you'd have liked it! Thought about you ... was funny to think that exactly a year earlier we'd been at the church, then at Wayside, celebrating your life. God that seems like such a long time ago, you know?
Anyway, I know you don't need me to ask as you'll be doing it already, but make sure you help Jonesy settle in up there, won't you? Bloody hell man, he was flying on Sunday. He worked so hard for that second place, and he deserved so very much more.
Take care mate, x
