This is very sad news to hear of the loss of the great Jan Blizzard. She's been the driving force behind New South Wales Road Racing for as long as we've been involved in the sport, and it just won't be the same without her.
Motorcycling Australia is extremely saddened to hear the passing of Jan Blizzard, who gave tirelessly to the cause of motorcycle racing as an official and administrator for seven decades.
That dedication saw the Loftus (NSW) resident awarded an OAM in the King's Birthday Honours list in 2023 in recognition of her years of service, which included marathon stints as president and secretary of the St George Motorcycle Club.
She held the secretary’s role at St George for a remarkable 60 years, touching the lives of so many motorcycle riders during a massive period of growth for the sport. Unsurprisngly, she passes as a life member of the club.
Jan’s motorcycle racing activities also extended to officiating, and she was an ever-present sight at race meetings across NSW, including at Bathurst, Amaroo Park, Oran Park and Nepean – with a constant smile despite the race-day pressures.

Jan’s late husband, Arthur Blizzard, also poured his heart and soul into motorcycle racing as the boss of the then ACU of NSW. Two legends who leave a rich legacy.
Vale Janice Edna Blizzard. She was 86.
