Dave Rowland (updated 27/7/26)


All material appearing here has been provided by Doreen Rowland. We do not know who the photographers were, if possible would they please contact the club.
The '17' is hugely proud of its ties to Dave Rowland - he was not just a great trials rider but also a hard working member of the ACU Trials Committee for many years and a true stalwart of the club having been a member of the committee in many roles for years and years. He is missed.

Dave and Doreen were regulars in the National Trials scene in the 1970's here's fun mention of them and the '!7' from MCN on 6th August 1975.

Dave left 3 scrap books, some with his achievements and others showing his interests in other Manchester 17 Club members and local motorcyclists.

The club has had these books scanned and reproduce them here with the permission of Doreen Rowland. They are intended to help those who are interested in the history of the club and its more famous members as well as for those who are doing research and mostly for those who just want to enjoy fond memories.

The following list are links to .pdf files of individual pages of the scrap books, just double click the page link and they will download to your computer.
