of motorcycle racing ever to come out of the island of
Ireland. Robert was a multi title winner and indeed still
holds the record number of wins ever recorded at the
world famous North West 200 circuit with 15 victories.
Other notable achievements include the 1991 British
125cc champion and 1990 Macau Grand Prix winner.

| Robert was also awarded the very prestigious Freeman of the borough honour by Ballymoney Borough Council in recognition of his tremendous career in motor cycle racing throughout the world. Robert also had a civic reception held in Ballymoney Town Hall to mark his 1991 BRITISH 125cc championship title. |
| Ballymoney Borough Council are to provide a new memorial garden at Castle Street, Ballymoney so we the committee of the Robert Dunlop Memorial Sculpture Fund together with Roberts family have set about raising the necessary funds required to enable us to erect a sculpture be-fitting of Robert in his new memorial garden. We have been reliably informed by the experts that the sum required to erect such a sculpture will be in the region of £60,000. So, together with all subscriptions and donations made to the fund, we will be able to erect a sculpture worthy of such a talented and gifted sportsman. |
| Many thanks for your kindness and generosity, Liam Beckett (Chairman) |
