SMCC has two life members Jackie Bateman and Alan Hunt.
Jackie was sports sec. for 37years from 1973 to 2010. Married to Brian an ex trials rider and sister in law to The legendary Roy Bateman. Jackie was ultra efficient and reliable, obtaining permits, taking entries, doing the results in fact doing all the paper work and keeping all the records up to date. A Winteringham resident most of her life she was also chairman of the parish council and a keen WI member, sadly her health is not what it was but she still keeps an interest in the club.
