The Sammy Miller Motorcycle Museum Trust says it is honoured to receive from the great Bob Light his collection of books, photos, editorial and scrap books.
Bob Light was one of the senior scribes of the 1960s and 1970s who wrote wonderful articles and great reports on events, including grass track, and had an enormous depth of knowledge of the industry.
It is probably appropriate that Bob Light’s collection has joined the Ralph Venable’s collection in the reading area of the New Milton, Hampshire-based museum.
Light was mentored by Venables when he was still at school!
Sammy Miller said: “We have extended this area to accommodate these two world-class collections for our visitors to read and research. It gives our staff much pleasure to see visitors spending hours in the reading area reliving the past and enjoying the fantastic photographs and memorabilia!
“Bob Light’s brother Martin kindly brought the collection to the museum and we were very honoured to be gifted such wonderful archive material; we hope to display this wonderful collection for many years to come.”
