Had a QUICK glance (off to IOW in a mo!) For sure: 3 = Jack Bibby 8 = Richard Pettman Will study others later. Bryn

Fear not F4E, I promise I'll only have one drink.... at a time!

No MM - I'm heading straight to Adelaide first and, all being well, I'll be at Mildura for their meeting on 27/11. Flying out of terminal 3 at Heathrow at 22.15.

Leaving here Nov 21 Shazzy and looks as if I've got to stay until Feb 7! Now here's one for you all - wanna speculate who might apply for the following? "MA (Motorcycling Australia) is now accepting applications from speedway competitors for a five day training camp at the Australian Institute of sport in Canberra from December 5-9. .... the camp will focus on general sports science (nutrition, sports psychology, physiology etc) and physical conditioning." I guess the nutrition and physical conditioning bits would rule out both myself, and MM not to mention Lunchy!

Now I'm sure that Shane P will ensure that MM and I remain persectly shober that night! Calendar updated today btw.

Looking forward to Shane's big night out on December 3rd. NOT so sure that I'm looking forward to the following morn though!

Weren't you at the meetings then Ken?

Good news that Sam's back nearer home Vince and fingers crossed all goes well with the op tonight. Now YOUR biggest problem is to try and get him to listen to the docs in terms of what he has to do to regain full fitness AND to try to stop him from jumping back on a bike too early on his road to recovery - good luck mate!

Thanks Jayne - let's hope for some good news on Sam.

Any news on Sam & James?

Can only echo your comments MM - my thoughts are with Shaggs and Ollie - here's hoping for a positive outcome. Bryn

Thanks Shazzy and look forward to Rob contacting me - all will be revealed why in due course but it is for something rather special.

Thanks Shazzy - Was good to see Paul at Hackney "do" and to talk again last night. Hope someone can come up with rob's contact details - all will shortly be revealed why!

If anyone has contact details for Rob, would appreciate it if they Email me same to kcv83@dial.pipex.com

Want me to ensure that you stick to Orange juice Shazz?

Two talented youngsters H Man, both of whom have had rides in Oxford second halves this year and at other venues.

Press Release released today states: "FIM SCANDINAVIAN SPEEDWAY GRAND PRIX SOLD OUT BSI, in conjunction with Målilla speedway club, today announced that tickets for both seating and standing areas at the FIM Scandinavian Speedway Grand Prix on 13 August are now sold out." So if you haven't got a ticket by now - tough!

T'was about 28/29 degrees C here yesterday Lunchy! Better warm up out there prior to mid-Novemberish!

I'm sure a certain Gavin Elmes would love to have been at this meeting - alas he's too busy still going to rained off meetings over here!

Cabaret?? Wot Tommo's "bottle walking" and Uncle alf Weedon's "crooning?"
