Thursday, January 4, 2007 - EEMS - eemsonline.co.uk
Mervyn Whyte, the clerk of the course at the North West 200 motorcycle race held each May on a road circuit between the towns of Portstuart, Portrush and Coleraine in Northern Ireland, was awarded an MBE for his services to motorcycle racing in the 2007 New Year's Honours List.
Whyte, who is a senior administrator in motorcycle racing and has served the Motorcycle Union of Ireland for 25 years said, "It came as a big surprise. If it wasn't for the team behind me the event would just not happen. We have a fantastic team behind us at the Coleraine & District Motor Club. We have a lot of good, strong members.
"Like any organisation we need a structure and format and the club certainly has that in place. Through that the event has gone from strength to strength and we plan to continue to improve it."
