Neil came off his bucket and is currently in hospital - he and the family need our support while he recovers.

Canterbury

Hi everyone – as some of you may know our friend Neil Batchelor came off his bucket at Ruapuna this weekend. He is currently in hospital and it is unclear when he will be out, and even more when he will be able to start working again. Neil, being a self employed glazier is of course not earning anything while he is unable to work. With the families blessing, we have decided to start a collection for Neil to help him, and the family through the challenges of his recovery and trying to keep the business afloat for the months ahead.

Neil has been racing for over 25 years – and anyone who knows him knows his dry sense of humour and loyalty to his friends, however most of all his love for the sport. It would be greatly appreciated if you could help Neil, Sharon and Mr. Batch (Stephen) during this difficult time.

Warm Regards, Joanne
