" At Ballystockart, where the road passed
close by another bridge on the now-defunct
railway, caught out a number of drivers. The
first Ards TT fatality occurred here in 1929,
when Frank Clark crashed his OM and
Grindlay’s Triumph Super Seven, the first
car on the scene, skidded into marshals
who were trying to move it. Clark and an
official were killed. "

Armagh Road,
Portadown, Northern Ireland
Dear Sir,
In compliance with
your request I have pleasure in sending you a copy of the R.A.C. map of the
main roads of England and Wales showing Ministry of Transport numbers and
intermediate mileages, etc., and I trust that it will be of service to you.
At the same time I
venture to enclose a booklet setting out the advantages to be derived from
Associate-Membership of the R.A.C. The service which the R.A.C. offers
is specially designed to meet the needs of motor cyclists, whose interests
are served by a Motor Cycle Department staffed by motor cyclists. The R.A.C.
"Get You Home" Service again is the only safeguard against being
stranded on the road.
The annual
subscription of £1 for Motor Cycle Associate-Membership, without entrance
fee, included the free use of the Badge. I offer you a cordial invitation to
join the Club and suggest that you fill in the form and send it to me with
the subscription when I shall be pleased to send you the Badge and "Get
You Home" vouchers, etc., forthwith.
Yours faithfully, F. A. Armstrong, Secretary
