Agree with laurence whole heartedly on this it was a nightmare, after 7 months of preparation from what really started off as a crazy idea, between Shaun and myself, to find out we are having to organise rider changes the week before due to re-scheduling, injury etc. Was a total nightmare, the last week Laurence's phone has been on fire and the night before and the morning of he must have been the biggest shareholder in his mobile phone company! However Shaun's testimonial,went off as we had hoped "with a bang", the amount of people who came up and said it was awesome, spectacular etc. it really was amazing. So now our crazy little idea and all the hardwork that went into it is over, we would like to thank all the riders who took part, but we have to single out some don't we. Mark Jones- what a lovely lad,helped keep the party rocking on sat night, along with paul lee, james brundle etc. However on track what a rider, were it not for a bit of bad luck in the 12 lapper he would have been on the rostrum for sure. He really is a talent that we need on our speedway tracks and appreciated being brought into the meeting. So come on promoters get that lad in your team for 2007! Billy Janniro-Another one who kept the party rocking the night before and supported the raffle and various fund raising actiities that night. Who on the track even on Shauns bike at 1 point showed his sheer class. Who during the final just ate his way up the field. Thanks Billy, hope you enjoy the auction items you bought, Im sure you needed another crash helmet. Matt Browne- Has a Hancock style about him and is definitely one for the future Daniel King- So deserved to win the final, when he ran out of fuel, but managed to push bike home and secure a place, another one who showed pure class. jason King- Rode brilliantly, had an unlucky spill in first heat when track was a bit greasy, but then provided us with some great riding. Jimmy Jansson- Several people said after , how his style reminded them of Tommy's, proved to be an out and out racer and was brilliant to watch. Come on promoters you heard it here another one to pick up for 2007 Linus Eklof- Who? a lot of people asked, well now everyone who was there knows why we booked him so early, entertaining rider, full throttle (made one or 2 errors on an unfamiliar track) but future star . Leigh Lanham- As usual provided some brilliant riding and as usual was the true professional he always is, definitely a worthy winner. Jason Lyons- As always the calm pro provided some great racing having in one race a fantastic battle to keep Mark Jones behind him. James Brundle- unlucky a few times, but really rose to the occasion showed what a battler he is Dan Giffard- It was great to see him in the final, glad he got his chance especially after his late call up to the event and gave it his all for us Shaun Tacey-for a guy who was totally stressed at the start of the meeting showed he can still give the rest a run for their money on track, not bad after all the work he put in to his testimonial. Could go on about the riders in the event, but to every rider who took part thankyou. The Wimbledon and sittingbourne racing showed us why they should be seen in league racing, clubs like these are our speedway future, bringing on new riders who otherwise woould be lost to speedway, with Graham and Dingle being the absolute professionals they are . The sidecars thankyou to Gary Southgate for organising this for us and to all the outfits who gave up their sunday to race in this event. Finally thankyou to Carl at the stadium for all his help, Paul Carrington for brilliant refereeing, Mildenhall track and turnstile staff, Huggy for the brilliant race track which had to cope with 30 heats of racing and did just that, Heather and the girls for selling raffle tickets, Mandy for dealing with all that she dealt with during the meeting, paramedic, St Johns, all the sponsors, Emma and Ashley for all their running about and hard work, Kevin for his microphone works, the harley davidson boys who did the parade (what an awesome site they were sitting in the tunnel waiting to come out on track), Re Run productions for filming the event, the mad scotsman and Kingys dad for the barbecue, Eileen, Di Farmer, Susan and Terri, Laurence. If I have missed anyone out sorry shaun and I are so grateful to all of you for your help and support. Finally (thank god), thanks to all the fans who turned up and supported, in their words this spectacular event. Apologies to all the track staff when i had the breakdown on the centre green after the final, it was just the sheer relief that shaun and i had made the crazy dream come true!

a few unsold lots , which will be auctioned off elsewhere.

Just under1000 by ticket stubs.

HOT OFF THE PRESS " Stoney is a star" today Carl Stonehewer sent Shaun as he put it a little something to put in the auction. Since Shaun and Stoney rode together at Workington last year they have a good friendship and Stoney throughout the year has been keeping in contact with Shaun to see how the testimonial is going. He appreciates the hard work involved for the riders big day and has offered various words of wisdom. I know you want to know what is in the auction! A pair of Stoneys boots, a pair of gloves and 2 signed stoney testimonial programmes. Real collectors items. Anyone who wants to bid prior to testimonial please email me before 12pm saturday, everyone else bring your wallets !!

NICE MOVE BY TACE Shaun has announced this morning that all those attending the mildenhall v somerset meeting will be able to watch grand prix in bar and then enjoy the after gp disco, auction, raffle, meet the riders etc. for free. Shaun said "it seems so unfair that the bar was going to be closed as the grand prix was about to start, meaning the fans would miss out, and i would rather let them enjoy the pre testimonial party with us". For those who wish to, there will be barbecue tickets on sale tomorrow for those who want to eat before they party the night away, Shaun's only worry is that people wont go up for a second helping!!!!

Great news for Fans not only do we hve a signed Arena shirt up for auction, we also have a framed, signed Mildenhall shirt too. Remember if you are unable to make it sunday email me your bids and I will bid for you.

This was supposed to be released a while ago but appears to have been overlooked. Up for auction after the meeting is a crash helmet that laurence got signed by the riders at the british grand prix in June. QUITE A UNIQUE PIECE OF MEMORABILIA

Late rider change, Eddie Kennett has had to drop out of the meeting due to re-arranged fixture commitments . However we are pleased to announce that Billy Janniro will be riding in his place at the meeting.

respectfully with admission being pretty much the same as a normal elite league meeting and some 28 heats of various racing it does actually seem quite good value for money, when there have been cases of much more expensive entry charges ths season and the fact it is a riders benefit meeting too. Shaun was advised he should charge more by others but thought this was a fair price for the entertainment on offer.

LATEST AUCTION ITEM Arena essex shirt signed by all the current team including ronnie russell last night 1-09-06. Thanks to Alf in the track shop for the donation of this shirt and all the boys for taking time to sign it for us. If you want to bid on this item in advance please email me with your details and bid.

RIDER CHANGE Have just heard that tom p madsen is not available so will be replaced by Mark Jones , riding at number 13. Shaun is looking forward to seeing the talented Mark ride in his testimonial meeting.

totally incorrect< interest for the meeting is exceeding all expectations- so whoever started the rumour is in for a very nasty surprise I'm afraid!
