Subject: [CR]Re: Reg Harris

whilst carrying out a local cycling history project/book(still doing same) I was sent a very interesting item, a brief letter from a cyclist who met Reg in Singapore in the 50's , the chap was in the army and Reg was on his way to the World? track championships in Australia, anyway he got Reg's autograph outside Robinson's cafe, he sent it to me and it is now one of my favourite bits of memorabilia, he also informed me that Reg was booked to open the Staveley works sports ground cycle track close to Chesterfield, apparently Reg turned up and everyone expected him to do a lap or two, it was even hinted at in the programme, but no Reg hadn't been paid for that so a quick speech I believe then off again in his Jaguar! Reg was apparently known for his financial awareness!
