SOLIDARITY TOURNAMENT

 

Was it really 25 years ago that the world watched as Polish workers in the Lenin shipyards in Gdansk, led by Lech Walesa, started a strike that led to the formation of the Solidarity trade union and ultimately the end of Communism? It was one of the landmark events of the last century and almost led to war in Europe, as the Poles, unlike the Czechs in 1968, would've fought a Soviet invasion. This meeting is a memorial to the men and women who created Solidarity and is being staged, appropriately, in Gdansk, the birthplace of the movement. As you'd imagine, a top quality field has been assembled and the contest should be keenly fought.

I went to the Place of Solidarity in Gdansk on the Monday of the Bydgoszcz meeting. It was incredible feeling, I gave some money to the victims. All the TV stations packing up. A beautiful evening in Gdansk that was. At 7pm, we were on a Gdansk balcony of a bar discussing Thunderbirds and Speedway of old i.e. Ray Wilson. By 9pm, we went Place Of Solidarity. By 12, we were back in Bydgoszcz and I thought about having a kebap. The Taxi Driver aswell said Lee Richardson, he could tell we were Brits there for the Speedway.
