Stuart Robson Farewell Meeting ·FB CHANGE OF TITLE SPONSOR FOR FAREWELL MEETING When attempting the 4th running of the Farewell Meeting, we were kindly contacted by Gordon Pairman with a very generous offer to become meeting sponsor through his RMCS RACING. With the postponement in March causing a loss of approx £5,000 from the money that was being raised to give Stuart the send off he deserves, we have been looking for additional sponsors/advertisers to try and fill some of that gap created, and Gordon has kindly helped out again, but has also agreed to waive the meeting sponsorship title, and that has kindly been supported by Richard and the team at Rentruck Rentruck are a big supporter of riders in the UK and are closely linked with the Belle Vue Aces, and they have agreed to help out after a discussion with Gordon. The speedway community never fail to amaze us, and the generosity shown will help towards filling some the financial gap already suffered earlier this season. So now we have the Stuart Robson Farewell Meeting sponsored by RENTRUCK If anyone else would like to get in touch and help out with anything please drop an email to robbosfarewell@hotmail.com
