but i could also pass from the back, unlike the gating tart you tend to watch at Kings Lynn

various pictures of the meeting and ex-Canterbury riders can be found HERE

can't help with Crayford footage but i am currently uploading my pictures from yesterday including one of Bryn

just give me that flannel back so i can comb my hair

you don't realise how pleased i am of that fact and the fact i haven't heard of a lot of riders doesn't make them a bad rider

i think my 'better' season was 1989 ... average according to the yearbook was 4.00 unfortunately there are a lot of people on here that don't know what the National League was.

has anyone invited Wally?

i find it embarrassing to tell them i don't believe you saw me get further than 30 yards i had to chuckle when i phoned into North Norfolk Radio a couple of weeks back when Mike Bennett was presenting the show ... he gave me a real big build-up as someone that was always entertaining and always gave 110% ... he also said i'd had a few scrapes with safety fences. the reason for this was all about winning .. i wanted to win .. what was the point in coming second, that's just first loser. i sat on the bike not wanting to be beaten by anyone ... we can all dream. i rode against the likes of Chris Louis, Leigh Adams and loads of other quality riders and was lucky enough to ride in the same teams as Steve Regeling, Richard Green, Dave Mullett, Mike Spink, Moggo etc etc most of all, looking back now, i had a fantastic time whether i averaged 0.00 or 10.00, and i made a lot of friends all over the place.

also contacted Mike Bennett a couple of weeks ago as he was centre green announcer at Canterbury for the last season or two and was a lot of fun, but unfortunately he is working next weekend.

add Steve Gibson to the list

sorry ... exaggeration was always my strongest point

1986 0.00 1987 0.00 1988 0.00 1989 0.01 1990 -2 1991 -3

have contacted Gavin this morning via email to accept his invitation.

i have

need to get hold of Ian Cox i think ...

not yet Mike, but now Sarah (shooting star) has sorted some things out i certainly will be confirming. so will your old man be there?

would that be Neil??

unfortunately it is a problem with the younger generation ... bringing up dyspraxia doesn't make any difference here as there are kids out there with no problems whatsoever dat post with dis and dat all da time. THAT is the point i am making. and i'm quite happy to take the mick out of anyone. i get it, and i give it back.

deh do dat do don't deh

everyone is born right handed ... only the greatest overcome it

there was someone else and i think they had the surname of Beaton ... not sure if it was Bobby or not. if i remember rightly i'm sure he rode for a Northern club. Glasgow and Hull are in my mind which is why i thought it could be Bobby Beaton for Hull

if it was in EL racing it would certainly make it interesting.

a different one back then Alan, but looking exactly the same yes white, all white

i have looked through my pictures and this is the only one i can find that has Roland in ... it's at a Hackney training morning in 1988 and i am about 90% sure number 24 is Roland. number 29 is Ian Cox and number 21 is me

the money goes to riders injured while riding. i got £150 per month in 1990 when i broke my thigh. not sure how someone would go about claiming if the disability is not a direct result of racing. not sure ME would be classed as a problem brought on by racing... worth a call to the people running it though
