smod Posted February 25, 2016 Report Share Posted February 25, 2016 As he is going to be at Peterborough on the Sunday afternoon, is there a chance the great Hans Nielsen might appear in aid of such a good cause the night before? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robert72 Posted February 25, 2016 Report Share Posted February 25, 2016 The top boys can turn up at Manchester but not for the Ben fund at Kings Lynn, well done to those who agreed to ride, shame on holder & co who hasn't bothered. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Brown Posted February 26, 2016 Report Share Posted February 26, 2016 The Oxford SOS group are sponsoring a race and a rider and therefore we have 2 complimentary tickets as part of that deal which come with a buffet on the day in the Hospitality lounge As we will not be using these tickets if someone would like to offer the face value of a normal admission ticket then they are welcome to make use of them. All we ask is that on the day you pay the £16 per ticket to Paul Ackroyd and that can at least go back into the fund Can you send me a message if you are interested and I will send them to the first person that asks 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Argos Posted February 28, 2016 Report Share Posted February 28, 2016 Maybe they haven't been asked to ride in it you thick tw@t. Having spoken to Paul Ackroyed sometime ago about this and he informed me that most of the riders that ride in the Ben meeting contract him and ask him if they can ride in it, he also said I'd be surprised how many of the top riders refuse to ride in it, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have you spoken to them and asked them if they are interested in doing the meeting or found out there reasons for not doing it? At the end of the day there are 16 riders needed for it. Not all the main riders in the UK or Europe can be fitted into it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are all interested in the Manchester meeting, maybe that's where the money is as they are all available for that one. While fans like you defend the undefendable,had this been the Darcy ward meeting they all would be there and this meeting is as important. So why is the British number 1 and current world champion also missing ? you may disagree but he has long forgotten about the Ben fund and only looks after his interests and what's good for him. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rhidassa Posted March 8, 2016 Report Share Posted March 8, 2016 (edited) Shame I can't go, work has messed me up once more One weekend I can't make it back either Silly me thought riders would actually volunteer, it's easy enough to contact the organisers. Just a question do they have to be asked if they want any payments or do they get in touch with the Ben Fund themselves. I have no idea how that works. Do you mean if they get injured?
