I think it would be an excellent idea.
Mark was an inspiration.
Anyone who knew his life expectancy yet still went out and got a new bike project has to be an inspiration.
As an aside, whilst new to this forum, I am admin/maintainer of the TrikeDoctor forums.
It is via there that I met Mark, where he was also a great contributor.
Mark sold and dispatched the tickets for our annual forum get together this year. He even managed to get up for some time on the Saturday, but could not stay over. A very good effort when you consider it is held near Birmingham.
I will miss our texts.

Definitely a good idea - as Markju preferable, since that's who he was on the forum.

I didn't know Mark beyond this forum -didn't realise he was so heavily involved in the trike scene.
Donations direct to Jay Jay, rather than me, as she's volunteered to arrange it, (she rang me this morning to confirm).
I'm sure she'll be along soon with the details.

Thanks for the letter in the Post today Mr Spanners -I'll pass your donation on to Jay Jay. Very kind of you.
Also a very nice idea -Mike suggests we name the MMMotors trophy we give out each year at The Basingstoke Transport Festival, the Mark Juggins, or Markju, Memorial Trophy. Sounds good to me -any thoughts?
For those new to MMMotors, we have a bit of a forum get-together at my local vehicle show every May & knock up a trophy of some sort, then decide on the day who to give it to, usually someone who's displayed enthusiasm, support & enjoyment of the vehicle scene in general & our little group in particular -I think putting Mark's name to that would be entirely appropriate, don't you?
that made me  |

That is a lovely idea. As Bobbi suggested, Markju is probably more appropriate as, for most of us, that is how we have known him. I have arranged for the flowers and will try and put a pic online before the funeral as I am picking them up on the 19th. They will incorporate a message and the MMM logo, which I took in to the florist today as well. The flowers are not going to be too over the top because, as 1130cc has just mentioned, Mark had many interests in his life, of which we were a small part. I am hoping you will like them though. Nobody has ever given me money via PayPal but I think you just send it to my PayPal email. I don't really want to put that email for anyone to see, as in guests, but if you want to donate something then PM me and I will send it to you. Or if you want to post a donation, I will give you my address. Whichever is easiest. Please don't feel under any pressure to donate. Some of you didn't know Mark and even if you did, money is tight. I won't be listing names as those who have donated know who they are.  If we have money over are you all happy for MMM to make a donation to GIST Support UK, which is a charity that supports those who are ill, like Mark, with GastroIntestinal Stromal Tumours. As this form of cancer is rare, those who have it don't always know where to get help, guidance or support. It is also there for their families especially those who are carers. I think you will all say yes but if anyone has any objections then let me know in this thread or PM me. JJ |

A message from Mark's family:
Mark loved buying his trike
He loved riding to different places too -he'd come home, get his jacket and helmet on then off he went.
Mark did so many different things, like buying and doing up a sailing boat and sailing it & building a kit car which he never finished 😊 He was a bee keeper for a while too & so much more -but I know that the trike was his favourite thing.
We'd love the trikes to be behind the funeral cars from our house if that's O.K, with cars at the crematorium, then following to the wake.
Thank you so much, in advance for the flowers. It's lovely that your membership want to contribute to them. Also wonderful to think of a trophy in his name. That's so very kind of you all & made me cry, but happy tears. Thank you.
Teresa.
Mark's funeral is on 20th October at 1.45pm at:
Wessex Vale Crematorium
Bubb Lane
West End
Southampton
SO30 2HL
There's a wake afterwards at:
Ageas Bowl
Bodley Road
Southampton
SO30 3XH

Great. I wish I had something interesting on the road, but will be in my daily driver, so will see you at the crematorium. I'll check on the home address & ask what time they'd like you guys there.

Why not ask if they would like you to ride Mark's trike. |

It did occur to me, but to be honest, I'd rather not. Don't like being the centre of attention & would hate to let everyone down if I stalled it or something. I'm happy just to be there.
