Now added in Marc Owen to list a he is 90% certain to ride . Had e-mail off Jayne to say that Tom Woolley is riding a short track meeting that day but we have added Jack Hirst to the line-up.

Still a few places to fill in both the main meeting and the 250's. My computer has had a major bug in it at the moment and I I am still having problems accessing my e-mails at home as I am waiting for a new modem from Virgin.

More news as we add riders and sort out teams. Also many thanks to Neil Watson (ex-Peterborough Promoter) for agreeing to sponsor the meeting. Also to Barry Simpson who is providing products sponsorship for the meeting.

When he went to get changed he told me he was okay but the bike was wrecked!!

Hope to announce line-ups asap --awaiting a few replies to invites ---also need contact details for James Sergeant and Jason garrity if anyone has them ?? Thought I had tehm on my lists but can't find the list!!

Yes 3pm start. see you there.

we will do 250cc 2nd half --so your down on my list Nathan

Would see what Jayne and Richard want to do and then try to get 6-8 250 lads there and do a second half with them.

Not sure if it is allowed to have 250 and 500's in same race ? Remember something about this with the Under 15's Championships when I was involved wih them.

Was just looking at doing a 250 second half --will check with Jayne tomorrow and report back.

Had a call off Jayne Moss today to see if I could help to arrange an Under 16 meeting at Buxton on Sunday October 19th. We have a few riders pencilled in to take part and I will be in contact with riders on my lists to see if they want to ride. It will be a 15 heat , normal 7 man teams event . Team names to follow. Interested riders can e-mail at : laurencerogers@blueyonder.co.uk . Should be a cracker!!

Well done to one and all. Just sorry I couldn't make it for the meeting to watch these emerging young talents . Totally agree that there should be more meetings or a defined structure to the lad's racing. Having had involvment with most of the lads on show and their parents I know that is what they want and surely the future of British Speedway needs the lads at this level and age to be supported and nurtured. Laurence Rogers

A good and entertaining night's racing with some close action.

Good to see Jari Makinen back in action --how was his leg and ankle fsp ?

My best wishes to David for this afternoon --hope the sun is shining and the place is full for one of the sport's gents . Laurence Rogers

great news --see you soon!!

Due to being so busy I am late putting out invites to ride in the 2nd half of the Boston meeting this coming Sunday (Aug 3rd) at Kings Lynn for the 250's. I have spoken to a few but need some definite confirmations so we can see what type of 2nd half we will run . Thanks --and apologies for the late posting but I've been a bit busy trying to sort out my team at Mildenhall!! Laurence 07801429304 0or e-mail : laurencerogers@blueyonder.co.uk

Thanks mate --now I've had chance to look at them carefully realised that!! Less haste more speed !!

Thanks Ian -- as I was away on tour missed seeing the lads in action but now know what happened. Were there any 250 races as well ??

Bad news. Hope Ash is feeling better --won't bother asking him if he wants a second half for a while then Neil!! Send him my regards. Laurence

Hope all goes well on Sunday --will be at Glasgow so unable to make this one. Good luck to all the lads taking part.

Found out a while ago when Mr Pasty --sorry Pat Bint , who was kindly picking me up en-route , called to tell me it was off. If it is re-arranged for next Saturday I won't be able to make it as at Workington with the Fen Tigers. What a bummer!!

well done youg Mr Davies --certainly looked very impressive on a 500 at Mildenhall the other week. Certainly a chip off the old block !!

Thanks so far to offers of lifts from Rhys and his dad Tom Naylor; and to Chris and his dad Pat (the Pasty) Bint !! Looking at the maps and meeting points I may be buying the pasties for Mr Bint and meeting him off the M42 as it stands --so thanks folks for your help .
