Sarah Bulman announced as co=promoter at Shielfield Park, replacing Gary Flint -- the former rider and father of Great Britain star Leon having stepped back from frontline duties during the 2023 season -- and Berwick’s new co-promoter has every incentive to ensure the sport continues to thrive in the Borders’ town.
Because Sarah is determined that in years to come her grandchildren will be joining her at Shielfield Park to cheer on the R.E.D Bandits, powered by STS.
The 43-year-old children’s services manager was given the go-ahead by British Speedway Promoters’ Ltd this week to join Steven Dews as co-promoter of a Berwick club owned by 36-year-old Jamie Courtney and complete the youngest management team in British speedway.
And in a sport traditionally run by men, Sarah becomes the third female co-promoter in Berwick’s 58-season history.
She says it will be a big learning curve in the new position, but with Jamie, Stevie and Stewart Dickson alongside, feels the club is in good hands.
Welcome, Sarah!
