bolly Posted February 2, 2014 Report Share Posted February 2, 2014 Just announced that Luke has been awarded testimonial meeting for 10 years service with Rye House on 13th July 2014. Couldn't happen to a nicer guy, 100% Rye House, shows that sometimes loyalty is rewarded. Now lets just hope for good weather a bumper crowd and maybe the return of some of Lukes ex-team mates, Tai, Linus, Robbo and others 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
westhamboy66 Posted February 2, 2014 Report Share Posted February 2, 2014 If ever a rider deserves a testimonial it's Luke. I wish him well for his meeting and also more importantly a successful and safe season. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shadders Posted February 2, 2014 Report Share Posted February 2, 2014 We'll be rushing back from Cardiff for this (not more than 70mph of course ). Echo what WHB and Bolly have already said. Unlike a certain Pole who has flitted in and out of British speedway at will, this testimonial is well deserved. I hope the line up befits the occasion.

phillipsr Posted February 4, 2014 Report Share Posted February 4, 2014 Went to school with Luke and known his family for years. Very very deserved loyal to Rye House. Gutted at the day he has picked though as I'm staying down in Cardiff until the tuesday wish him all the best Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

westhamboy66 Posted June 22, 2014 Report Share Posted June 22, 2014 Of course the field is important and Olly and Sam are a good start but the day is all about Luke and i hope he gets the crowd he deserves.

Alan_Jones Posted July 5, 2014 Report Share Posted July 5, 2014 Stefan Ekberg isn't in the main event, he'll be in the 2 races with Moggo, Troy Pratt and A.N.Other ex-rider. All the Rockets other than Jason Garrity(Cardiff) and Matt Tresarrieu(long track GP) should be there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris Posted July 7, 2014 Report Share Posted July 7, 2014 Blimey, that's an awful line up. Won't get many casuals turning up for that. Fair play to Bowen for the ten years of commitment though. Not quite sure how he has lasted so long at the club but guess it sums up silvers lack of ambition. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oafski Posted July 9, 2014 Report Share Posted July 9, 2014 There is a Classic Bike Show in Hoddesdon on the same day and it occurred to me that It might be an idea to try and drum up a bit of extra support for this meeting from there, but if the Met Office forecast for Sunday is correct I thnk they will both fall victim to our traditional summer weather.

Rockets Posted July 9, 2014 Report Share Posted July 9, 2014 I hope not Oafski. Whatever we feel about the club at the moment if there is one rider who deserves a testimonial it's Luke. Very loyal, come back from quite horrendous injuries, always well prepared and always ready to promote the club. To be fair his lovely girlfriend/ wife deserves one too. She rushes from the bar every race to see how he gets on. She is a great credit to him. We are rushing back from Cardiff especially. Good luck Luke. Ps - Luke probably a good thing you did nt ask Chris to head your testimonial committee. Perhaps he could do a public sponsored hanging . . .

She is a great credit to him.She's also Bandits4Evas hairdresser and a good one too!! It's a pity the meeting couldn't be put back an hour or two as I'll have a very sore head after a couple of nights out in Cardiff. It'll mean a 10am departure from The Welsh capital, which I'm not sure I'll be able to manage from previous GP weekend experience.
