BigFatDave Posted August 29, 2010 Report Share Posted August 29, 2010 Maybe, but it would be nice for him to be awarded something important A proper bloke who has done much for the sport in both England and Australia. Can't think of anything more important than to be recognised in his home country by being awarded the OAM, which is awarded "for the purpose of according recognition to Australian citizens and other persons for achievement or for meritorious service". Of course if some tinpot third world monarchy wants to give him a gong who am I to gainsay them? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thinking back I can only compare him to Sir Jack Brabham who is the only Formula One driver to have won a world title in a car of his own construction.

chris1 Posted September 4, 2010 Report Share Posted September 4, 2010 So disappointed that this meeting has now been postponed due to riders unavailability. Hope they can still try for it to go ahead this season Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SCB Posted September 4, 2010 Report Share Posted September 4, 2010 So disappointed that this meeting has now been postponed due to riders unavailability. Hope they can still try for it to go ahead this season Hopefully the meeting can be properly programmed in so as many people as possible can make arrangements to attend. Im sure there are many people who'd love to attend a meeting for Neil. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
