6/80 & MO Club announces death of Public Relations Officer, Colin Poland

It is with great sadness that we have to announce the death of our irrepressible Public Relations Officer, Colin Poland, on Good Friday 25th March 2016, after an 18 month battle with cancer.  Colin bounced on to our Club committee at the 2010 AGM, & brought with him an infectious energy, enthusiasm & can-do attitude, and committee meetings were never quite the same – and now can never be the same again.  Colin was just bursting with ideas, & the best bit was that he was ready willing & able to work hard himself to bring those ideas to life. He was just so enthusiastic about promoting our Club, & was forever coming up with new ideas for us to discuss, chew over, & accept or reject.  He will be greatly missed by all his friends in the 6/80 & MO Club & the wider classic car world.  Colin was the driving force behind our Club stand at the NEC shows, & here he is at the show last November - quite poorly by this stage, but just chuffed to bits to be there on the Club stand.  Goodbye Colin, & thanks for enriching our lives.
