the truth Posted September 19, 2011 Report Share Posted September 19, 2011 Hi Does anyone have the details of the Kelvin Mullarkey testimonial meeting? I think it was 1985.

Shadders Posted September 20, 2011 Report Share Posted September 20, 2011 (edited) Hi Does anyone have the details of the Kelvin Mullarkey testimonial meeting? I think it was 1985. I assume it was at Rye House I've got a race jacket from the meeting with number one on the back and wondered who wore it etc etc Thanks in advance Graham Is it a Rockets race jacket? According to 1986 Speedway Yearbook the Rye House Select side contained Andrew Silver, Ali Stevens, Bob Garrad and Rob Parish... I have the programme somewhere in the garage amongst countless others... At a guess I'd say it was Andrew Silver's race jacket... He rode at number 1 for the Rockets in 1985. Just for those fellow anoraks out there (Rye House unless stated)... Rye House Select 28 (Andrew Silver 4-9; Ali Stevens 4-7; Bob Garrad 4-6; Rob Parish, Mildenhall 4-6); Poole Select 30 (Kevin Smith 4-11; Rob Henry, Mildenhall 4-9; Neil Middleditch, Arena Essex, 4-9; Russell Paine, Arena Essex, 4-1); Kent Select 22 (Barry Thomas, Hackney, 4-8; Rob Tilbury, Canterbury, 4-6; Andy Galvin, Hackney, 4-4; Peter Johns, Wimbledon, 4-4); Kings Lynn Select 16 (Martin Goodwin, Arena Essex, 4-8; Bob Humphries, Arena Essex, 4-4; Kelvin Mullarkey 4-3; Gary Rolls 4-1).

the truth Posted September 20, 2011 Author Report Share Posted September 20, 2011 It looks abit like this one Here Its definately not a rockets jacket. I think Norbold is right with the date though. I'm almost certain it says 1985 on it somewhere. Sorry for being so vague!! I'll have a proper look at it at the weekend and report back Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

the truth Posted September 24, 2011 Author Report Share Posted September 24, 2011 Here it is Front Back I knew it said 1985 on there somewhere Any more info anyone? Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ImpartialOne Posted September 25, 2011 Report Share Posted September 25, 2011 Here it is Front Back I knew it said 1985 on there somewhere Any more info anyone? Cheers I would say that, as the jacket contains the logos of all the participating teams but the Rocket is the main one, this would be the Rye House team's number 1, Andrew Silver. If you can find a similar jacket with the Crusader, Star or Pirate logo as the main logo (if this is the case) this would confirm it.

Poole, Kings Lynn, Hull, Rye House, Weymouth and Canterbury... Missing logo's are Hackney and Crewe Edited September 27, 2011 by Shadders Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
