No details of Ken's funeral in the 'paper, just an article about his career, but bear with me and I will find out when someone who should know gets home from work. Have now found out and the funeral will be next Thursday 20th February, at Gilroes Crematorium, Leicester, at 10.15 am. No flowers by request, but donations if wished to the British Heart Foundation.

Yes, will do that. There have been no details up to now, but I don't think Ken had any family living in Leicester did he? Will post as soon as I receive my newspaper.

Nothing in the Leicester Mercury again tonight so I have just 'phoned the Sports Editor and he says there will be an article about Ken in the paper tomorrow. Glad to hear this because he deserves a mention. There are still lots of Speedway fans in Leicester even if we don't have our own track any more. :-(

You have to be sure of your facts with Norbold lurking around this forum Jim.

I'm very sad to hear that Norbold. I know he has been ill over the past few years, but I thought he had recovered okay after his last hospital stay. So many happy memories of his days riding for the Hunters. R.I.P Ken.

I'll remember that for the future - thanks Lioness. It must be correct because I would imagine that's how Penegan would send out copies of the Speedway Star to subscribers, otherwise they would have gone bankrupt by now. :?

I only sent one copy last week and it cost 57p, so 52 should come to errr....something like £29 postage.

Bah! I have just read several pages all about Johnnie Hoskins and it doesn't say! How about Sigmund, Sydney or Showtime? Okay, I am going to go quietly away now. :roll: Where's Norbold - I bet he will know.

I don't either, but having a guess I'd say you would win 25 x £5 which is £125, plus your stake money back? (Or perhaps not.)

Errm.......Credit where it's due 'cos I don't often get any - I created the Rmaction topic on Years Gone By and Rick was good enough to reply. I knew he was around because he has posted on the forum before and I hope he will still do so now and again on here.

Hey watch it! I thought we were friends.
