Rico Memorial Meeting


Recommended Posts

Two meetings that I wont miss this year - Lee will be in my thoughts tommorrow when I vist Cardiff for my annual pilgramage ( Wrist Band and Tshirt in full evidence ) and I will be taking a days annual holiday and travelling on my own from Preston, Lancashire for this meeting regardless of cost , fuel etc - I just need to show my support to the Richardson family

 

See you next month

Perhaps it is relevent to add that Re-Run Productions are about to release a DVD of Lee's career. Not sure if it is out yet but it will be available form the Re-Run shop adjacent to the first bend at Lakeside (and presumably mail order). I understand the price will be around £17 but I understand all sales are being donated to the Richardson family. As we said there are some great people around speedway and Steve Girdwood of Re-Run is one of them

 

I bought my copy of this superb DVD last week at the Eastbourne match. It's on sale for £15, but I paid £20, as all takings on this dvd go to the Rico fund. Great idea from Steve and the boys at Re-Run.

Just had a look on Lakeside site to buy tickets for this meeting, could someone clarify the delivery method please, at the beginning it says to print out your e-mail confirmation as your ticket, but then asks for delivery address, maybe I'm being a bit thick but would appreciate some information, thankyou, Yvonne.

30p = credit card surcharge

credit card surcharge? i paid by visa debit and when i have bought tickets on our website before, not had any extra charge. but as previous poster said, not bothered about extra 30p per ticket, just dont think its c/c surcharge

as far as i can tell vonny, you print it off and show at the main gate on the night. i am a lakeside season ticket holder, but when i have used this service before for a meeting that wasnt covered by my season ticket thats what we did, nothing was sent out. if in doubt i suggest you contact the speedway office on a race night. hope this helps

Maybe the announcer/presenter at the meeting will call out the names of clubs, asking fans to cheer to show that clubs support?

 

I'm looking forward to this. We've made our donation online, printed out the confirmation all ready, and our first visit to Lakeside planned. Hope the meeting is all it should be. :)

 

Hope all of you that've done it online like me have your confirmations printed out ready to take Friday :)

Thanks for the above 'Rhidassa' - Below I hope is suitable clarification of the entry procedure to be used on Friday by all attending and especially those who've already made a minimum donation towards entry via the internet.

 

I have also been asked to confirm that admission can be gained on the night subject to a MINIMUM donation of £10 (all of us CAN donate more if we want to and I'm sure most of us intend to) for adults and £1 for children being made.

 

PROCEDURES FOR THOSE WHO HAVE MADE MINIMUM ON-LINE DONATIONS IN RELATION TO ENTRY TO THIS FRIDAY'S VERY SPECIAL MEETING:

 

To clarify entry procedures for this Friday's meeting at the Arena Essex Raceway we wish to advise that NO actual tickets will be posted to those who have paid online. Within minutes of making the purchase an automated confirmation is despatched to the email address quoted on the application. This shows the number of minimum donations of £10 each purchased along with the unique reference number. This confirmation should be printed off as this is your ticket.

Once parked up in the free car parking areas entry into the main Raceway complex will be by foot through the double gates at the top of the drive, which will be sectioned off. You will have to hand in your printed off ticket and will then be able to make any additional donations at that point of entry. Any accompanying children (aged 16 and under) will also be able to make their donations in cash, which will be for a minimum amount of £1.

Please note that there will be no vehicle access via these double gates as separate entry arrangements have been made for riders, staff and officially invited guests along with Hammers Season Ticket holders (who have been asked to pay in cash or online as their Season Tickets will NOT be valid for this event).

Jason has said he will be there.

 

Just to mention also that Craig and Emma Richardson have apparently had an input to who is riding so they are all special friends Lee rather than being there to make the number up.

Proud to say that there's an Anglian Junior challenge match preceeding the main action. Lee was a great advocate of this level of racing and an absolute inspiration to all of the riders appearing.

It's a challenge match between the Young Hammers and the Eastbourne Eaglets.

Teams line up as follows:

Lakeside Young Hammers

1) Mark Baldock; 2) Adam Ellis; 3) Martin Pearce

Eastbourne Eaglets

1) Niall Strudwick; 2) Connor Dugard; 3) Danno Verge

 

Tapes up at 6.45pm
