BigFatDave Posted June 8, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 8, 2009 Re July 12th --- surely you could ''squeeze'' in the Best Pairs grasstrack meeting at High Easter --- or do you have no stamina? ( Not boycotting the big chairs are you?) Looks like spiderweb'll be pleased; High Easter is now included on the agenda. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigFatDave Posted June 8, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 8, 2009 See you there BFD! Where exactly is "There", sjl? All I can see on Google is a bunch of empty paddocks! You'd better start a thread on the meeting; times, directions, how many beer tents etc otherwise this Happy Wonderer will be stuffed!!

Seb the Snail Posted June 9, 2009 Report Share Posted June 9, 2009 A fine schedule, BFD, but I thought that all Aussie tourists had to fit 2 weeks of inertia in Leicester into their schedules this summer? I'm sure that we can tickle in a lemonade or two at some point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ozyace Posted June 10, 2009 Report Share Posted June 10, 2009 Have a good time mate, the Walkabouts the place to be before and after the GP. Get yourself to Rossco's New Inn when your in Swindon also, it's not to far from the Abbey. Enjoy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When you're down in Brum,BFD,give me a call and we'll have a few VBs in Brums Walkabout!! Keep Tuesday June 30th night free bluey!! A fine schedule, BFD, but I thought that all Aussie tourists had to fit 2 weeks of inertia in Leicester into their schedules this summer?

False dawn Posted June 10, 2009 Report Share Posted June 10, 2009 Where exactly is "There", sjl? All I can see on Google is a bunch of empty paddocks! You'd better start a thread on the meeting; times, directions, how many beer tents etc otherwise this Happy Wonderer will be stuffed!! Fear not my generously proportioned friend we'll get you there. Google will show you a bunch of empty paddocks because that is where we go racing. The clue is in the name, "grasstrack". We shift the cows or sheep out of a field, stake out a track and go racing. The information I have so far: The grid reference is TL616137. Go to http://www.multimap.com to find this location. Practice starts at 11:00. First race is 1:30 In fact if you want the complete details of this meeting, go to http://www.grasstrack.net/regs-pdf-z/500-12-july.pdf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigFatDave Posted June 19, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 19, 2009 Hey BFD, from Darwin too. Here is Rooboy's cousin last week at Darwin Monster truck show, not sure if you go to Northline. Cheers I just saw this on the Bees thread - yep, gotta get me thrills somehow and' I surely love them big V8's!! Mind you, it was a sad day for Oz Speedway when they started puttin' Clay everywhere - bring back Mixed Meetings! There's just so much happenin' in Darwin, some times I miss out - 'specially if me beloved Richmond TIGERS are on the Telly on a Saturday Night.
