dantodan Posted August 22, 2011 Report Share Posted August 22, 2011 (edited) I have been informed of the whereabouts of some Newcastle Riders. For example David Bargh lost his home due to the New Zealand eathquake. I have made space on the Miscellaneous page of Diamonds History Can anyone supply details re any other ex Newcastle Riders Edited August 22, 2011 by dantodan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
speedyguy Posted August 22, 2011 Report Share Posted August 22, 2011 Mike Tams, the Canadian who rode for Newcastle in 1950 and 1951, is still alive aged 91 years. He's currently living in a war veterans home in Toronto. He first started riding in the UK at Eastbourne in 1947. More on Mike at http://sports.groups.yahoo.com/group/oldtimespeedway/message/9976 Mike's brother Les was also at Eastbourne in 1947, later riding in Ireland as Les Gordon because, according to Mike, speedway could only cope with one Tams!
