Leicestershire TR Register History: The Leicestershire TR group was formed in 1981 and has been thriving ever since. From a small start the membership has risen and fallen at various times and is now probably at its strongest ever. We have good numbers attending our monthly meetings, some of whom travel from adjacent counties. The first Leicester group meeting took place following an advert placed in the Leicester Mercury and was held at the Foxhunter pub on the Narborough Road. Dave Simmons (1981-1983) was the first group leader, although at that time it was pretty much a shared task. Other key members at the time were Bob and Lynn Callf, John and Helen Kirk, Frank Woolerton and Mike Wilce. In 1983 Steve Deacon took over temporarily as group leader. He was followed by Gary McVeigh (1984-1987). He in turn was replaced by Mike Wilce (1987-94).

He took a sabbatical and handed charge to Dick Goodey who became group leader as of December 2001. Andy took back the reins in 2003 before handing over again to Phil Gunn in 2004. Martin Ward became leader in 2007 with Ruth Richards and then Colin Skinner as his deputies. Colin became the leader in 2012 with Mick Forey as deputy.
