ianmartin Posted December 8, 2007 Report Share Posted December 8, 2007 Well, it's not really just a British Speedway Museum. We have special boards devoted to Ivan Mauger, Tony Rickardsson, Jason Crump amongst others as well as a section on Ice Racing. In view of the opinions expressed on here I will take up the question of the logo at the next Committee Meeting, which is on 18 December. I can't answer your question about Sunderland off-hand. I will have to check and see what we have. When I go on the 18 December I will have a look and then let you know. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Thank you very much for your kind attention - I do appreciate the fact that you will let my views be known on the LOGO subject, and if you could let me know about Sunderland that would be great. Many thanks Ian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
norbold Posted December 18, 2007 Author Report Share Posted December 18, 2007 OK, we had our committee meeting today and I put forward the view, expressed forcibly by some, that the Museum should keep the Peter Craven logo and it was eventually agreed that we should, albeit with a change of body colour from Belle Vue to a World symbol.

Thank you for listening and please thank your committee for this compromise. The rider is still Peter Craven and THAT is what is important to myself and others. I hope the Museum goes from strength to strength. Once again - many thanks, Ian PS. Sunderland????? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
norbold Posted December 18, 2007 Author Report Share Posted December 18, 2007 Oh, yes, sorry. Sunderland. The Museum has nothing from or about Sunderland as far as I can see. There may be some programmes in store but I didn't have time to go through them. Obviously an area we need to build up! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obviously an area we need to build up! <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I do hope that something can be put in the Museum regarding Sunderland. We did not have a very long (sadly) or a very glorious history however we WERE/ARE part of the world of Speedway. We did donate quite a large sum to the Museum and as such we would appreciate a mention somewhere, if only to show that we existed. We were promised when we raised the money that EVERY track PAST or PRESENT would be represented at the Museum. A number of people 'cut their Speedway teeth' at Sunderland as supporters. It would be nice if, when anyone from 'up here' comes to the Museum, (as I intend to) there was a racejacket or something so we can say - "that was our Track". Living in hope that Speedway may be revived in Sunderland at some time in the future. Thank you Norbold Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
norbold Posted December 19, 2007 Author Report Share Posted December 19, 2007 (edited) Yes, it is the intention to have something from every track, but, of course, we can only do that if someone donates or loans or offers an article for sale. If you know anyone who has any Sunderland memorabilia they are willing to donate or lend I am sure we would be very interested.

Obviously an area we need to build up! <{POST_SNAPBACK}> What about enquiring about the 2 sections of concrete fencing at the Stadium with the Speedway entrance fees on it? See Speedway Plus stadium photos - Sunderland. If this is still there it would be great to save and preserve it as it surely will eventually be knocked down (or fall down).

norbold Posted September 23, 2008 Author Report Share Posted September 23, 2008 (edited) Just back from a Speedway Museum Committee meeting... Latest news: 1. There is to be a Scottish Dance evening on Saturday 8 November starting at 7:00 p.m. The Museum will be open and there will be a buffet meal. Tickets are £22.50 per person. (£20 per person for parties of over 10) All proceeds to the Museum. 2. Next year's annual "High Beech" celebrations will be held at the Speedway Museum instead of High Beech and will be on 8 February. Admission will be free. It is to be called "A Celebration of Speedway - incorporating the High Beech Anniversary." The reason for the move is because of complaints received at this year's annual celebrations (and received every year since I can remember) that the King's Oak is too small for the number of people who come to the event. By holding it at the Museum and using other Paradise Park facilities there will be much more room for stall holders and visitors and more and better facilities available. The museum will also be open on site as a bonus. We are hoping to persuade a number of former world champions to come along. 3. Corgi toys are to make a line of replica speedway bikes and are to visit the Museum (with Terry Russell) to have a look at the bikes we have. 4. Thirty Three Speedway Star vouchers have been used so far this year to gain entry to the Park and Museum. 5. See separate thread for nes on the Website. Plus, the Museum itself is continuing to improve. Their is a new section on Ice Speedway. If you haven't been for a while, it is well worth a visit to see the improvements.

marryfoxgirl Posted November 19, 2009 Report Share Posted November 19, 2009 Does anyone have a clue about the displaying of Hits in the Popular articles section? Did Joomla do away with the viewer "Ordering field" capability selection next to the viewer "Display field" capability that is displayed on a list of items page? All that I see that I have control over is the Filter field and Display field number of items displayed on a page. Thanks _______________________________________ Website I developed for payday loans in ontario company. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iris123 Posted November 20, 2009 Report Share Posted November 20, 2009 Don't think Joomla is a member of this forum,so i would blame a guy called Parsloes 1928 nearly.Not sure what you are on about though.Maybe ask a guy called Haggis he also talks a bit strange Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bert Harkins Posted January 29, 2010 Report Share Posted January 29, 2010 SUNDAY 21st FEBRUARY 2010, 10am to 4pm,......That's the date for The Celebration of Speedway at Paradise Wildlife Park and entry to the Park is FREE for Speedway fans on that day. Just tell the Pay Cabin that you are going to the Celebration of Speedway and you will be admitted f.o.c. If you have not yet visited the National Speedway Museum, then this is a great opportunity to do so and to join the big pre-season day out for all Speedway fans. Win tickets for the British Grand Prix at Cardiff in our prize draw and have your photograph taken sitting on a Speedway bike. With any luck, you may also hear the sound of some unsilenced Douglas, Jap and Jawas machines being fired up and get that nostalgic whiff of Castrol 'R' Racing Oil in the air. Apart from the Museum, the Collectors' Fayre, the displays of bikes, rider interviews, barbeque, and meeting old and new friends, you can also visit the Wildlife Park f.o.c. and enjoy seeing the other Tigers (not Sheffield or Glasgow), but the magnificent, 'Rocky' and all the other animals which are so well looked after in the Park. Check out Speedway Star for details. Paradise Wildlife Park is signposted from Junction 25 of the M25, so, to alter Uncle Len Silver's motto from Hackney,................"Make It A Date, Sunday, AFTER eight (am)!"
