First ever meeting at the Groveway and a couple of things I'd like to check:

 

Ht 03: SStar reports Koppe retired. Marked programme indicates he fell.

 

Ht 08: SStar reports: Sampson, Bass, Casey, MacLean, 74.2

Programme records MacLean in 3rd and Casey 4th

 

Ht 20: SStar reports: Owen, Bass, Holloway, MacLean, 71.5

MacLean is a reserve replacement for John Jackson. Programme does not record the change, reports Jackson (ef).

 

Ordinarily I'd accept the Stars' version of events as they tie in with the yearbook, but the programme is well completed so I thought it was worth confirming what was what.

 

If someone can confirm any of the above I'd be much obliged.

I was there; from my programme:

I have Koppe as falling in his first ride BUT in heat 4! Mullarkey retired in heat 3

 

Ht 08: SStar reports: Sampson, Bass, Casey, MacLean, 74.2

Programme records MacLean in 3rd and Casey 4th

 

I agree with S Star finishing order

 

Ht 20: SStar reports: Owen, Bass, Holloway, MacLean, 71.5

Again I'm with the Star

PS My programme is very untidy if that helps. :shock:

(It was the sort of meeting that would normally have been rained off without hesitation if it hadn't been a special event.)
