crescent girl Posted July 5, 2016 Report Share Posted July 5, 2016 With no PL match available, Berwick have announced a nice little midsummer treat for followers on July 16th. It will cost £10, kids free and present 27 races. 37p per race! Start time 6.45pm (125cc races will start the show). It will be "The Stars of Tomorrow, powered by Minibike Champs" -- the branded sponsor being the highly-successful Minibike group, owned by Jamie Courtney, a former Bandit and brother of Bandits' team manager. The main event has a fairly-matched line-up of Danny Ayres, Dan Bewley, Liam Carr, Jye Etheridge, Luke Ruddick, Shelby Rutherford, Kevin Whelan, Lee Payne, Mitch Davey, Rob Shuttleworth, Connor Coles, Ryan McDonald, Ryan Burton, Stefan Farnaby, Chris Widman and Joe Lawlor. Meanwhile the GB youth set-up has nominated Luke Harrison, the Thompson twins, the two McGurks, Jordan Palin, Mickie Simpson and Corbin Pavitt to contest the 125cc title. Neil Vatcher has thanked Berwick for agreeing to host the event, and the BSPA for their support.

smod Posted July 13, 2016 Report Share Posted July 13, 2016 Facebook is reporting that former World Chmpion Gary Havelock will be in attendance on Saturday as Guest of Honour. Gary actually raced in the 1985 Stars of Tomorrow -- finishing third! Great to see one of our very few World Champions turning out to support the young guns. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gary actually raced in the 1985 Stars of Tomorrow -- finishing third! Great to see one of our very few World Champions turning out to support the young guns. Actually, it was 1984 (Behind Jacko Irving and Scott Lamb) that Gary Havelock was 3rd, but that's great news. Gives the event a bit of class! Parade at 6.30, first 125cc races from 6.45 and a party planned in the Black and Gold afterwards, with music, auctions and party surprises. Weather looks OK, no speedway last week or next week, place will be buzzing! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

topsoil Posted July 15, 2016 Report Share Posted July 15, 2016 Chuffed to see this meeting back in the calendar, the more track time given to the young riders, the better they will become. Hopefully this will be well supported to back the decision to run the meeting. Quite important as well to keep the regular Saturday night meetings, with breaks for the GP, Fours and World Cup this month. I really enjoyed the Under 19 Championship last season, the standard of riders was higher than I thought. Hopefully this will match it. Once again the promotion trying to be proactive, which can only be a good thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crescent girl Posted July 15, 2016 Author Report Share Posted July 15, 2016 Lee Payne has withdrawn from field, there are efforts to trial a mystery new Danish lad in the meeting. Might he be the new Bandit? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
allthegearbutnaeidea Posted July 16, 2016 Report Share Posted July 16, 2016 Lee Payne has withdrawn from field, there are efforts to trial a mystery new Danish lad in the meeting. Might he be the new Bandit? That will be Tobias Thomsen then, a young Dane who was at both Ipswich and Peterborough practising, will be good to see how he goes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
screm Posted July 16, 2016 Report Share Posted July 16, 2016 Hopefully a few will turn out to support this meeting, good weather forecast and plenty races for the admission. Credit to the club for putting on this meeting, especially with a baron July. Its easy for people to find alternative things to do on a Saturday night.

crazysue Posted July 16, 2016 Report Share Posted July 16, 2016 Still need a texter for both parts of this meeting, is anyone able to help please? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
topsoil Posted July 16, 2016 Report Share Posted July 16, 2016 Really enjoyed the meeting, the standard of racing tonight is streets ahead of these type of meetings in previous years. The semi and final Tight racing between the likes of Liam Carr, Danny Ayres, Dan Bewley, Jy Etheridge and Tobias Thomsen, who doesn't half attack the first bend with his style of riding. Also impressed with Connor Coles and Rob Shuttleworth. The latter's third to first ride in his last race was fantastic. Hopefully this will become an annual event now. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

damosuzuki Posted July 17, 2016 Report Share Posted July 17, 2016 Really enjoyed this - a crowd of a few hundred I'd say - not too shabby at all. The abandoned semi final was an incredible race. Also Danny ayres bombing up the home straight on lap 3 of the final to overtake Jye Etheridge - some great racing. The 125's were great to watch as always. Really well organised meeting with a great atmosphere There's a good feeling at Berwick this year. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigeddiechek Posted July 17, 2016 Report Share Posted July 17, 2016 What a great meeting. Some superb racing, with the first run of the semi-final producing a lap and a bit of absolutely breath-taking speedway. The very professional presentation, and slick running made for a thoroughly enjoyable meeting. Good to see a strong turnout.It's what the riders and organisers deserved. Hopefully see this again next year Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

screm Posted July 17, 2016 Report Share Posted July 17, 2016 Well done to all for putting this meeting on and for getting all the races done just before the curfew, crowd look reasonable for this kind of meeting and I hope it encourages Berwick to put more junior meetings on when we have a run of blank Saturday`s in the future. For the main meeting it was always predictable that Liam Carr would do well and he deserved his win, the riders who caught the eye were Connor Coles and Rob Shuttleworth, the latter involved in the race of the night in Ht14. If Tobias Thomsen was brought over has a possible replacement for Seb Alden then I`m afraid the search will have to go on, attacked the track, 100% effort but 7pt rider and a rider capable of scoring points in the main body of the team, I don`t think so. Thoroughly enjoyed watching the 125cc Championships, lets hope we see some of these riders go all the in the future, maybe the BSPA are on the right track with these Championships. Congratulations to Dan Thompson on his win, and to young Luke Harrison who celebrated his two third places as if he`d won the meeting.
