Click here for some photos of the day. Only 7 Im afraid,I thought I took a lot more! http://community.webshots.com/album/568030344wUmyCK

Popped in for an hour on my way to Rye House. Good array of bikes on show. Even met up with a Poole legend from the 50's,Bill Holden. Enjoyed my 'track walk',including the concrete starting area. Will download a couple of photos later this week. Well done to everyone concerned.

Not sure yet! By the time I get to see Poole vs Lakeside on Monday,it will be 8 meetings in 11 days.Need a few days rest to recover first. If I do make it up there,its quite likely I will pop over to Buxton on the Sunday for your Junior meeting. Be good to thank Jayne personally for her help earlier this season.

Congratulations to EVERYONE of the youngsters who took part. Also to those who organised everything. Thats the first U15's Final Ive missed in years. However,Weymouth had a VERY important meeting to win the same day!

Quite agree Sue. If I had been on any of the trips over,Id be ready to sue their backsides off. Got lots of friends over there. Totally gutted for everyone.

Good Luck to each and every rider participating. Enjoy the day,and stay safe.

England seemed to hit the self destruct button.Early indications were that they could win this one.Not sure if it was England relaxing or the Aussies upping their game.Impressive finish by Boycies men. Superb Ht1 win from Jordan Frampton.Very clever ride to outwit Holder.Very fortunate to stay upright in ht10,when he got clattered very hard by Proctor.If Frampton had gone down,Im sure proctor would have been excluded. England Wright....Ht6 apart,cant say I noticed him Frampton....see above Kennett....Good first ride,but couldnt catch anyone after that Barker....battled hard all night,cant fault his effort.His gating though,is crap Bridger....See Kennett Auty....poor,yet to impress me at all since the U15's a couple season ago. Wilson....had a go early on,but faded Australia Holder....couldnt get by Frampton in ht1,then a lesson in immaculate riding,in front or team riding Gathercole....did his job well Batchelor....didnt look happy in ht3,but then eased his way through the rest of the meeting Proctor....in the thick of most of the action,very lucky in ht10 though Doyle....in cruise mode after ht4 Sweetman....some very clever first turns,with in-experience taking its toll Smith....battled hard Only one moan.........didnt notice until after I had eaten,that the programme was for the original date,with an insert.If I had known that,I wouldnt have bought one.Still got the first one! A very enjoyable meeting,all the same.Track was superb,excellent racing,as usual.

Apologies to Pitstop,and the Freemantle family. It should of course have been BRANDON not Brendan Freemantle. He rode very well,all the same!

I quite enjoyed this meeting last night.There were one or two scarey moments,although nothing serious.How some of them retained control at times beggard belief. In the 500's,were were all eagerly awaiting ht8,where the unbeaten Garrity and Owen were due to meet,along with,at that point,a little underpar Sarjeant.Sadly it didnt happen.In their haste,both Garrity and Owen touch the tapes,with Garrity having to go back 15 metres. In the rerun,Sarjeant flew round the outside of Owen on turns 1&2 to record an impressive win.Meanwhile Garrity had quickly got into 3rd place,but overcooked the entry to turn 1,2nd lap and dropped a chain. In his first race,Garrity was extremely impressive.His winning time was the fastest of the night,55.2,yet could have been a couple of seconds quicker too.He slowed up on the back straight,and 3rd/4th turns of the Final lap in order not to lap Gibbons.By our reckoning(we were on the back straight),his time would have been in the low 53's. In the 250's Ben Morley was a deserved winner.Smooth and in control at all times.Rhys Naylor has improved a lot since I last saw him race in this class.Never seen Brandon Freemantle till last night,but he rode very well to earn his right to the run off. I genuinely take my hat off to each and every rider out there. Well done. ps: Parsloes: The programme notes didnt make it clear.All it said was that the riders could drop their lowest scoring round,but it didnt qualify if they kept their best 2 or 3 scores.

Well,the Poole team are ready. That,despite some underhand manouvres from a couple of the other promotions. I mean,banning 16 year old Kyle Newman for being too old.Bloody jobsworths. I was coming up to support our lads,but not now.

I was there too,on the back straight,entering turn 3. Im on Michaneks side on this one.He and Sweden were robbed! My hero was,and still is Christer Lofqvist.He was sublime round Wembley. For me it was an almost perfect tournament.Great meetings all over the Country.I managed to get to 5 of them,plus the Final. Wonderful days.

Many Thanks Ian,much appreciated.

No he didnt! He was actually drawn to ride at Gorican. Australia,in their foresight,saw fit to ask for him to be swapped to Rye House.Thus avoiding this very scenario. As has been said,pathetic organising from the FIM.

I have been reliably informed of the following dates:- 12th July REDCAR 16th August NORTHSIDE 13th Sept WEYMOUTH 11th Oct BUXTON

Id happily give to any collection for Dave.Putting US first deserves OUR support. I know what you mean about Rory,SusieQ. I was happy to sponsor a rider for Boyceys Farewell.Paid my money,and ended up with Rory! I mean,if Id known........ Look out on Ebay shortly,his race jacket will be on there. All monies to our Academy riders fund. Best of luck to Dave tonight.He deserves to qualify,if effort means anything.

Here is the article in our local paper. http://www.bournemouthecho.co.uk/sport/pir...f_faces_axe.php

I agree with you Shazz. In the last 10 years or so,there WAS a rule about staying in your lane for a certain distance from the start. Im pretty sure it was used in all Leagues here.It was defintiely used in the Elite/Top League. I cant remember the dates,however,I do know it existed,but was withdrawn after a couple of seasons.

I dont think it was a cheer for him falling.I personally dont cheer for any rider falling,World Champ or complete novice.However,I do understand the irony of it all.Cheating his way to the Final and then falling. To me it was for his 'professional fouls' in getting Leigh and Bjarne excluded. Yes,I honestly believe he knew what he was doing in those races.

You sure it wasnt Leigh Adams fault?

Totally unreal. Somebody shoot the muppet.

Makes Flint,(Somerset last night) look like an complete amateur. Adams deserves a medal for not going up and lumping the idiot. We can only hope the FIM will change their minds about allowing him to take control of 2 more GP's this season.

Sadly,not the Firs. The action is from Wimbledon.

Dully amended. Thank you Yesterdaysman

All riders now identified,where possible. Where there is a ?,I would like to know myself,if any of you can help. Also in attendeance were Dave Pavitt,# Name Removed #,and John Payne. With sincere apologies for anyone Ive missed.Please be assured,it is not intentional!
