Imagine Bjorn, Gote and Sverre as our heat leaders!

One of my all-time favourite riders

Rye House will always have special memories for me as I saw my first ever speedway meeting there in 1960.

I wish I could see some action now!

With so much wonderful speedway in between.

1964-1981 was the best time in my opinion.

Beats the smell from Telfers meat pie factory down the street.

League and Cup winners and Our number one was World Champion in 1965.

I well remember being there in February 1968 for the 40th. anniversary event.

I am confused. Is there no league speedway planned for Germany next year? If German speedway is running are Wittstock and Landshut planning on running the same teams in two different countries?.

I make 11 dates with 3 tba

You are assuming all dates will be kept

makes sense. Double headers again would be good.

Any educated guesses who may fill the tba slots Philip?

Over 50 years ago my wife to be was in a cafe in London. Kenneth Williams was at a table across from her and kept pulling funny faces and making silly noises at her. Very strange man.

Giant Haddock, chips and mushy peas...a supper fit for a king.

It is Fountains Abbey on Tuesday afternoon and back the Wetherby Whaler for us now.

Thanks Boris, that’s our mini-break to Studley Royal down the drain.

I can only add I am glad I watched my speedway in the 60’s and 70’s, when British speedway was a “who’s who” of the world’s best.

Will give my Lhasa Apso something to bark at. She was fascinated by the deer when we stayed in July.

We will be staying in the Boot Room at Studley Royal for 3 nights next week.

In an ordinary summer I would have been to Oxburgh Hall, Blickling, Felbrigg Hall, Norfolk Lavender, the garden centres in Holt, Fakenham and Thetford. Wells next the sea and Hunstanton. Instead I have been to Ripon and Thirsk. At least I have saved some money.

Lousy day in York. My son having a weekend away by Lake Windermere. Lucky him, not.

This is going wildly off topic. To answer the original question... since 1960.

He’s a poet and no one knows it
