I am sorry to have to tell you about the death of Pierre Blehen, the President of the Chimay club.

Pierre died on Sunday morning 18th October 2010.

Although not enjoying the best of health over recent years, Pierre had been ‘en forme’ in the past year and his death came swiftly.

It was Pierre who first allowed IHRO to race at the ‘Grand Prix des Frontieres’ meeting in the 80’s and it was as a result of the popularity of those races that the ‘International Classic Trophy Meeting’ which we have all enjoyed, was championed and brought into existence by Pierre.

IHRO was represented at the well attended funeral on Wednesday 21st October at ‘La Collegiale de St Pierre et Paul’ in Chimay.

Classsic motorcycling in Europe has lost a good friend.

RIP Pierre
