Springfield’s 50th
I’ve been to a fair few Springfield annual presentation evenings but you never get used to the atmosphere there: young kids who might otherwise be on the streets are pursuing their dreams, be they in sport, IT or some particular skill. F1 has supported the Springfield Club since 1961, when Graham Hill decided to do what he could to help – and then persuaded his peers to do likewise. Last night, Nov 21, the Club’s President (Sir Jackie Stewart), its Chairman (Paul Stewart) and some very special guests (Damon Hill, Bette Hill) paid tribute not only to some of the great motor racing – and non-racing – people who have supported the Springfield Club over the year but also to the members – to the kids who make it what it is.
