Paddy Smith competition - 5 shirts to win
CLOSING DATE: Monday, 4th June 2012
For those who don't know, Paddy Smith began producing scooter rally patches back in the early 1980s to sell to raise 'beer money' for the weekend. A 'Paddy' patch was almost a badge of honour among many of us at the time, exclusively designed and printed for each rally and only available at that rally. If you had one on your jacket that was proof you attended that rally.
