Clive is my neighbour and it’s coming to his 80th birthday shortly. He has no evidence of his racing career and his partner is looking to gather some memories/photos/articles etc of his time racing to surprise him on his birthday. The only information I have is he was racing around the 1980’s. If anyone has any information, no matter how small it’d be amazing to hear it. Thank you in advance.

Just got this passed to me by Geoff Watts. My time with Clive goes back to the early 70s to about 1981. As a skier at Hartlepool Yacht Club I raced around the country, including Penarth where I first met Clive. Clive also met Barbara and I attended their wedding and Clive moved up north. I have a few photos of some of the races, but not many with Clive, but I attach them now. He also sold me my first car in 1979 and was the "Chauffeur" when I got married in 1981. I moved to Hong Kong and been there ever since so not sure how much more I can help. Anyway a few photos of Clive both from Water Skiing and my wedding. Excuse the quality from the 1970s!!

Please give Clive my very best regards and very best wishes on this auspicious birthday. May he have many more! Long time no see Clive and hope you are keeping well. I was around 18 when I met you and that was over 50 years ago. I am now 67 can you beleive. Kind regards and best wishes. PAUL

Clive also was a driver in the 1979 world water ski racing champs. There is a picture of his boat in this programme and I know he was the driver of the first ladies world champion. Bronwyn Wright at that event.
