Graeme Fife
Our
first impression of Graeme Fife was created when he arrived dramatically
at our gates swearing and fishing in his bag for a bottle of beer , he
had just completed a traverse of the Pyrenean chain using not a conventional
route but one devised by his friend John over a mountain top that could
not be described as a Pass .He sat down in his cycling gear and we immediately
started to get to know him.
Several years later we have spend a lot of time with him .He stayed with us to complete the Tour Book , came on a Charity ride we were co-ordinating as the Sweep ( His task to see all riders home with humour and kindness ) And has visited us as a personal friend .
We have been lucky to see lots of his work, published and in progress.And can reccommend it without hesitation
.

George
Francis
This is an autobiography of boxing trainer,
George Francis. Borne in 1928 in the slums of Camden Town, he left school
at the age of 11, and immediately started work. His earliest involvement
with boxing was as a bare-knuckle street fighter but, after a spell in
Wormwood Scrubs, he turned from pavement warfare to amateur boxing.
