Mike Cornish has passed away peacefully. He had been ill for some time.
A former trials rider, organiser, and founder member of the Wells and District Trials Motorcycle club, he was a well-respected, and well-known character of the ACU’s Wessex centre.
After trying his hand at trials, he soon found that three wheels was more his style, and was a regular competitor, claiming his best achievement at winning the infamous ‘Tanner Trudge’.
As an organiser, and the then Wells club chairman, he was privileged in awarding Sammy Miller his milestone, ‘thousandth win’.
His funeral will be held at Wookey Hole church, Friday March 6 at 12.30pm.
