Main Man Posted March 21, 2006 Report Share Posted March 21, 2006 (edited) With a new section for Testimonials --I reproduce a previous posting on Shaun Tacey's Testimonial "Back With A Bang" : Shaun Tacey celebrates his testimonial at Mildenhall on Sunday September 10th with a 12 lapper Final individual meeting. Plus a party night at the Stadium on Saturday 9th. Naturally more details will be released as time goes by --but it promises to be a night not to forget --so book it in your diaries . Lyn Hunt is organising the main meeting backing and already 8 heat backers have been found -even before a date was announced for the meeting for one of the sport's real characters --and details of the packages available can be obtained from her on 07889025588. Being a glutton for punishment , having done many testimonials over the years , I have offered my help to Tace and we are offering you, the fans , a chance to back the meeting from as little as £10 with a range of sponsorships available. Last year I did a similar exercise for Shane Parker's meeting and the response was overwhelming --- and hopefully it will be the same for Tace this year Here is a list of what you can back and am sure we have something for everyone in there --- so don't be shy --get your spot booked as it is all on a first come first served basis. Naturally the rider sponsors and travel sponsors will start to go once the line-up is revealed --so more on that later. One novel aspect will be the Great Goggle Giveaway --- each rider will be signing his Wulfsport goggles being used by every rider in the meeting and after their final ride will be throwing them out into the crowd for a lucky fan to take home as a souvenir !! The sponsor can elect to have a replica set themselves signed by their rider as well --see below : TACE’s TESTIMONIAL PACKAGES : 1. Rider Sponsors : A fan /company backs that rider for £200. Photo shoot with rider etc. 2. Fuel Sponsors Each rider is backed for £10 for their fuel costs 3. Oil Sponsors Each rider is backed for £10 for their oil costs 4. Insurance Sponsors Each rider is backed for their race insurance costs at £25 5. Tyre Sponsors Each rider is backed £30 for their tyre 6. Body Colour Sponsors Each rider’s body colour is sponsored with the sponsor receiving a signed replica jacket with the one used auctioned off . Cost £ 50 7. Goggle Sponsors For the great goggle give-away each rider is sponsored for the goggles they will throw into the crowd. £25 or £50 if they want a replica signed set. 8. Travel Sponsors Cover the rider travel costs for the meeting £100. 9. Race Sponsors Back a race in the meeting for £300. Other Supplementary Sponsorships : 1 Most Entertaining Rider of meeting -- £50 2. Unluckiest Rider of meeting -- £50 3. Fastest time after heat 4 -- £50 4. Best turned out rider -- £50 5. Best turned out mechanic -- £25 6. " Zaniest" moment of meeting -- £50 7. Best after race wheelie -- £ 25 10. Best after race celebration -- £ 25 11. Best "Donuts" ----- £25. The person donating the prize (if present at the meeting) chooses the winner of their sponsored bit . If not present at the meeting a small committee will decide the winner of each award. All these sponsorships can be reserved by e-mail to : laurencerogers@ic24.net with cheques payable to : Shaun Tacey Testimonial. ALSO GIRLS WHAT ABOUT BEING AN "UMBRELLA LADY" at the meeting --bids for places to Lyn Hunt. More news over the next few months --until Tace's Big Day on Sunday September 10th at Mildenhall --got the date in your diary yet ??? Plus Party Night --including Gp on Big Screen -Sat Sept 9th.

Not only does format promise to provide exciting meeting, but the line up and interval attraction will make this a day to remember. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Has anyone got any archive piccies of Shaun at Coventry etc. as we need to get our hands on some for programme posters and to produce a this is your life style album to embarass or surprise him!

Main Man Posted July 14, 2006 Author Report Share Posted July 14, 2006 Now this is one element of the meeting that should create a LOT of interest. There are thousands of would be refs out there --now is your chance to be one for the day along side Paul Carrington. We did this last year for Shane Parker's meeting at Glasgow and the response was amazing and I expect the same again this time. The bidding got quite hot and intense and in the end we had a tied bid and the ref kindly allowed two assistants to join him on the day !!! So come on folks get your bids in to either Lyn or myself ( laurencerogers@ic24.net) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
