Keith Heckles

It is with great sadness that we hear of the death last weekend of ex-Manx GP rider and NOC member Keith Heckles at the age of 75.  Keith was a regular supporter of Norton Owners Club events, frequently turning up with his very recognisable Francis Beart Manx.  Only last December he took part in a planning meeting for the NOC's stand and marquee at next July's Cholmondeley Pageant of Power.  The Club sends its condolences to Keith's sons and he will be missed by all those who knew him and enjoyed seeing him riding his machines.
