How can I explain while I am tieing you up?? I need my hands to type!! Sorry I didn't reply sooner...I was at Peterborough last night. Nothing was going on...as you can see, Shazzy likes the bondage lark which is not my thang. I had a shower in my room, Shazz had a bath in hers...that's it. Sorry to disappoint the rumour-mongers on here but you'll have to try elsewhere. now if someone wants to pay me enough........ :evil:

Ivan phoned my dad a couple of weeks ago, and he was saying how his mum is now 90 years old and he has bought her one of these scooter/buggy things... seems like she's terrorising all the locals on the pavement with her antics!!!! Hmmm.... that Mauger family.... :evil:

somehow, 'shazzy' and 'behave' don't quite go together

Be careful who you invite Jim, Ole Olsen will come in, take over, and change the whole format of your evening Good luck anyway, lets hope it all goes without those last minute problems steve

I got number 374 Addy.... mine was free and brought over by the man himself

er... i think you'll find i started that thread as a pith take at what people were saying about Billy Hamill after one meeting.... chill

My dad did a bit of a talk about Ivan at the Wembley Farewell meal the other year... and I'm sure he trod very carefully too!!

Igor Plechanov??? (only because I heard something about it at the VSRA meal where he was a special guest)

i remember his bar... going through to the far part of the living room on the right... never lost anything there though...too young. didn't he have a pool table further through though??

I could give you loads but I think I'd better not....

Couple of options for 3 matches in a row Grachan.... 25.4 Spring 4s v Eastbourne, Rye House, Arena Essex 09.5 Grand Slam QR (Andrew Silver) 16.5 Glasgow (NL) W42-36 or 15.8 Arena Essex 22.8 Newcastle 29.8 Eastbourne or 20.6 NL 4TT v Canterbury(24), Eastbourne(29), Exeter(22), Poole(21) 27.6 v Wimbledon D39-39 04.7 v Peterborough W44-34

Oops... think I'd better give Ivan a call and let him know

i have some '87 programs at home so will have a look at the fixtures to see what 3 meetings together would be the best option. i'll post just after 6pm this evening.

if they are not posted by about 6pm, i will stick them on as i have the yearbook also. you're doing this to get an idea of what video's to order eh, Grachan???

hmmm... i had a better average in the '86 season too

Finishing order... Eastbourne Mildenhall Milton Keynes Stoke Peterborough Berwick Wimbledon Poole Middlesbrough Edinburgh Newcastle Arena Essex Canterbury Exeter Long Eaton Rye House KO Cup Final... Mildenhall 50 - 46 Eastbourne Eastbourne 54 - 41 Mildenhall

don't know what you're talking about ML.... the only Monk I know is Harry Monk :evil:

er.. it was rather rude and i went to see someone in the main stand.... just where Wally was sitting. I also went in for the Miss Canterbury Speedway competition in 86 or 87. I wore a wig, long skirt, and stuffed a load of padding up my top. I also had Doctor Martin boots on!! I have a photo to prove it too!! I came joint 2nd with Ian Cox (girl that won it went on to win Miss National League at Coventry) Nothing was said by Wally about that. maybe he fancied me?... who knows?

I remember Terry's Hawaiian shirts also... and his constant tan. He always brought his son along with him too. I thought Terry was ok... I didn't know the reasons behind him going but he certainly was a character. I used to wear some er... 'different' t-shirts at Canterbury. The supporters would ask me what I had on so I just thought 'lets get some people going'. Was all going ok until Wally Mawdsley threatened to sack me due to one of the hats I wore!! All I wanted to do was have a good time at speedway, whether it be riding or with the supporters.

as well as still owing me £15 for travel....

1. Ivan Mauger nuff said 2. Michael Lee wasted talent but awesome on his day 3. Tommy Jansson career cut short as he was becoming the star he would have been 4. Kenny Carter Englands number 1, says so on side o' van 5. Simon Wigg mr entertainment... another much missed 6. Jan O Pedersen superb ability on a bike 7. Erik Gundersen ditto not a fan of the Danes but these 2, but for injury would have outshone Nielsen completely

This print you got Addy... is it the 'Millenium Man' print limited to 500 by Blair McKinley??? If so, I got one in a frame on my wall. He signed one to me and the missus and brought it over a couple of years ago.

Haven't a clue how to put pictures up for viewing on here but am more than willing to email you some to put on. I'll get you some out straight away.

I am currently putting all the photos from my riding onto cd, and have stacks from the 86 and 87 seasons.... to see a packed Kingsmead week in week out in the pictures and to see what it is now is just terrible.

agree about the aspect of trying to show how fast the bikes really go. inside the track is by far the best angle to show that so how about a couple of cameras on the inside. a camera on the helmet/bike can also work well if done properly... maybe to show replays etc but not necessarily during a race. this would also give people that have never sat on a bike the views you get on a track i.e fence coming towards you at a great speed with no brakes on your bike, and how close other riders actually get to you
