Garry Albrett Cliffhanger Promotions RIP

It is with much regret that I must inform that Garry Albrett of Carterton has passed away.

Garry suffered a heart attack this morning and did not regain consciousness.

Garry was well known as the chairman of Cliffhanger Promotions. He and his wife Dina were the driving force behind the triannual motorcycle sprints and cliffhanger hillclimb. They both worked tirelessly on these events and Garry will be sorely missed.

Garry's funeral will be held on Wednesday 8 July 2009, 11.00am ( arrive there at least 10.45am) at the Anglican Church, corner of High Street and Richmond Road, Carterton. (southern end of shopping centre)

To all that knew Garry, helped with the Cliffhanger and sprints, or competed at them, it would be appreciated if as many as possible could attend on their bikes to give Garry a worthy send off.

For those leaving from the Hutt side of the hill, I suggest meeting at Caltex Rimutaka at about 9.30am to leave at 9.45am.

Few people work as tirelessly for our sport as Garry and Dina, my thoughts are with Dina and friends and family at the moment.

Oh fuck. That sucks big time! I really had a lot of time for Garry, he always had time to stop and chat and have a laugh. Garry always used to give me shit about anyting and everything but he was also very supportive and calming when I was doing the hillclimb! Garry and Dina had a passion for motorcycling and really put in alot of effort to run amazing events. My thougts are with Dina and his family. RIP mate.

Will definately try and make the funeral Deano...
