Bears Dealt Huge Blow On The Eve Of The Season As Jorgenson Is Ruled Out! It feels like DeJa’Vu for the Agilia Bears after losing James Shanes just weeks before the start of the 2023 season, now unfortunately Thomas Jorgensen has had a huge setback in his recovery and will require surgery on his back injury which will rule him out of the start of the season. Co-promoter Jamie Swales said ‘We never felt it was a gamble when we signed Thomas despite his injuries, Thomas’s rehabilitation was well ahead of schedule, and he reassured us everything was going well. Unfortunately, last week that all changed when he started getting pain in his back, after a visit to the specialists he was told an operation would now be needed. We all wish Thomas well in his recovery and hopefully we see him back on track at some point in 2024, but we now find ourselves once again looking for a replacement with only weeks until the season starts. Talks are already underway with several riders, and we hope to be able to announce a signing very soon’

IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT START TIME CHANGE TO 2PM So the weather forecast that has been on our side l week drastically changed last night and now heavy rain is due right on the original start time of 5pm After consultation with the riders and the Redcar promotion we have decided to move the start time to 2pm we know this will not suit some people, but our hands are tied. If we don’t move the start time we would have to postpone the meeting Can we ask that you all share this info as far and wide as possible and hopefully those of you who were thinking of staying home to watch the GP…..can now join us In the afternoon and watch it live later on!! Thank you to everyone who has spent Friday morning changing plans - we won’t be beaten!!!!

PROGRAMME SALES FOR NEXT SATURDAY So we have decided that for next Saturday we will just be producing a small 8 page insert for the meeting with the line-ups for the event. Over 2 previous runnings of the meeting, we have spent £2,000 on programmes and just felt the outlay is just too much this time around. On the day we will have 2 options £2 for the insert Or £5 which will be the insert, and a copy of each of the 2 programmes we have had produced before. They will be collectors items as the meeting didn’t take place! It’s a way of trying to claw back some of the original outlay too. We wanted to be up front with everyone and let you know the situation and the decision behind it. It is only right to do that. At this point too, we would like to thank a sponsor who has asked to remain unnamed, who has helped subsidise some of cost of the printing of the insert. We are very grateful to them for their kind donation If anyone would like to help with the rest of the printing outlay then please email robbosfarewell@hotmail.com and we will be happy to hear from you
