Statman Posted September 13, 2009 Report Share Posted September 13, 2009 Special Guests Announced for Lemo’s Big Night Having fielded an impressive rider line-up for his testimonial meeting, a contest of such high calibre deserves an equally impressive Guest of Honour list and that is certainly the case for Lemo’s celebrations this Friday (18th September). Joining Lemo will be the 1950 and 1953 World Speedway Champion, the ex-Wembley star Freddie Williams, who will joined by a world class performer in his own branch of sport, the Australian cricketing legend and current captain of Somerset County Cricket, Justin Langer. Langer’s opening test partnership with Matthew Hayden was one of the most successful opening test cricket partnerships of all time, and earlier this year he became the highest scoring Australian batsman in English domestic cricket. Add to this a connection a little bit closer to home and joining the guest list will be Mark's father-in-law and former Newcastle Diamond legend, Tom Owen and Australia's Godfather of Speedway, Neil Street. On the evening, Sam Ermolenko will display his World Championship winning bike, plus there will be a signing post for fans to meet riders and get autographs. Advance tickets for the meeting which include a commemorative pass and pit walk are up to capacity; however, tickets are still available on the evening. Adults cost £13.50, children aged 6-16 £4, Under 5s go free. In a change to previous rider announcements, Newcastle’s Kenni Larsen has been committed to a Danish Super League meeting and will be replaced by his compatriot and Lemon’s Newcastle team mate, the promising young Dane, Rene Bach. Gates open: 5.30pm, Rider presentation 7.15pm, tapes up 7.30pm Admission: Adults £13.50, Children 6-16 £4, 5 and under – Free Confirmed line-up: Australia 1. Jason Crump (Belle Vue) 2. Jason Lyons (Birmingham) 3. Adam Shields (Lakeside) 4. Steve Johnston (Somerset) 5. Leigh Adams (Swindon) 6. Travis McGowan (Swindon) 7. Mark Lemon (Newcastle) Team Manager: Phil Crump Rest of the World 1. Hans Andersen (Poole) 2. Joe Screen (Poole) 3. Tai Woffinden (Wolverhampton) 4. Emil Kramer (Somerset) 5. Peter Karlsson (Wolverhampton) 6. James Wright (Belle Vue) 7. Rene Bach (Newcastle) Team Manager: Sam Ermolenko There will be more news later this week regarding other additional attractions & events that are to be held on the evening itself, so watch out for further details Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shadders Posted September 15, 2009 Report Share Posted September 15, 2009 (edited) Not sure if it has been covered before, but looking at the admission price of £13.50 compared to £25 for the GP Qualifier at Coventry ..... Ok, there will be four heats less ..... Too far away for me to attend, but there will be updates on the Speedway Updates site for those who want to keep in touch with the proceedings Edited September 15, 2009 by Shadders Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Star Lady Posted September 15, 2009 Report Share Posted September 15, 2009 Am going to Mark's testimonal and have never been to Somerset before. Can anyone tell me what the wheelchair access is like. Also can someone give me directions from Wales, understand it is Junction 22 off the M5 - where from after that and approx how long does it take. It's several years since I went to Somerset but wheelchair access is possible. When we went it was bumpy (mostly across grass or gravel) and viewing was not the best but I hear they have made many improvements since then so I'd guess you should be OK. I know I've not been overly helpful but at least it will bump the thread up so someone local will reply Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jenn Posted September 15, 2009 Report Share Posted September 15, 2009 (edited) Hope Lemo can get one of the big GP guys in on short notice after Jason's injury! I'll still go along but it could take a few off the crowd.... Edit - Just noticed its the Australia side that will be a man down.....maybe he could persuade Sully to ride? or Troy Batchelor.....

Speedwaystevemk2 Posted September 15, 2009 Report Share Posted September 15, 2009 Things have changed a lot at somerset in the last few week the drive and inner road have been fully tarmaced so nice and smooth . There is a special area on the patio for wheelchairs and there carers and its close to the clubhouse and toilets etc and you get a great view of the start and into the 1st bend as its slighty raised . So come on down and enjoy a great evenings speedway at the oak tree Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oldtimer Posted September 15, 2009 Report Share Posted September 15, 2009 It's half a mile from the M5 junction on the A38. Leave early due to traffic, track opens at 5-30pm. Go to Somerset-Rebels . co .uk web site and there is a map. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My maths was out, it's five heats less, but still a bargain ..... Sounds even better now with that mini individual meeting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
