Gemini Posted October 25, 2005 Report Share Posted October 25, 2005 Les Beaumont <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Damn!! Beaten to it, if you are referring to the Leicester photo then that is the answer I had decided on after trawling through my 3 Leicester books, written by Alan Jones, the latest one "The Lions Roar" just published if anyone is interested. My second choice was Alf Parker. Lionheart.......Ivor Brown passed away a few months ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
norbold Posted October 26, 2005 Author Report Share Posted October 26, 2005 (edited) Pleased I was wrong if that's the prize. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I'm just trying to get rid of them. No correct guesses for the other two behind Stan Stevens so far; though Albert Steptoe is close. P.s. At the "do" on Sunday, Les Beaumont showed me a programme of the meeting at Norwich when he equalled the track record. Strangely enough it was during the George Formby Trophy meeting which we've discussed on here. With one ride each to go, Les and Arthur Forrest were unbeaten. In the race where they met, Les unfortunately "conked" as it says in his programme, leaving the Black Prince to win with a maximum.

Gemini Posted October 26, 2005 Report Share Posted October 26, 2005 (edited) So whereabouts is he living these days Norbold? Presumably somewhere in the Norfolk area being as he never gets to any of the Leicester reunions? I'm feeling quite pleased with myself actually because I chose him purely by looking at a 40/50? year old photo and trying to imagine what he would look like today. Knowing my reputation with faces I think I did quite well. I hate coconut so I don't mind losing. Edited October 26, 2005 by Gemini Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
norbold Posted October 26, 2005 Author Report Share Posted October 26, 2005 He lives in Newmarket. He told me he hasn't been to any speedway meeting, reunion or anything to do with speedway for about 20 years, but, apparently, he ran in to Pam and Trevor Hedge at a race meeting in Newmarket and they invited him to the dinner on Sunday.

Gemini Posted October 26, 2005 Report Share Posted October 26, 2005 .......It's quite refreshing to know that someone is even more confused than me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
norbold Posted October 29, 2005 Author Report Share Posted October 29, 2005 By the way, it's Vic Gooden on the right and Archie Windmill in the centre... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
