The Bsf Massif !


Recommended Posts

We have an extra week of speedway..... hopefully we will have an extra week after that, and may even make it into October!

All hail King Julian

 

Superb cakes BTW!

 

One of the best sights of the night was Sue trying to eat a cake, fill a programme in and do the texting at the same time.

 

In the end, I held her phone and programme and she had the time it took to run a race to get the cake down her. It was touch and go but a big effort on the last lap saw her come home first.

I did point out that I am female and it was cake....should have been obvious I would do it! :rofl:

 

Very nice cake it was too, particularly liked the surprise jam inside, was not expecting that at all.

Caramel by any chance?

 

Seriously, it was a gorgeous cake and the jam took it to another dimension. In a way, I am pleased I didn't know about it, made it all the nicer for not knowing/hearing/paying attention.

I'm sure my other half will be glad you enjoyed them, she put a fair bit of time and effort in. Plus she makes cakes for part of our living lol. If they were not nice then I would be worried

A great evening spent with some genuinely good people with a speedway meeting as entertainment. What is not to like.

 

I don't know how this all started, but I know that we all sit where Baldyman sat before so it must have originated with him and then you guys started joining him one by one, or as in Noah's Ark, and by the time I had chatted to you guys on here and had been invited along to join you, there was a solid nucleus there and it has grown with the inclusion of Anthony and Guy and the Man With The Biggest Jaw in the World and Andy and his lovely family and others, to keep the impetus going. And The Presenter's input should not be overlooked. And now recognition in the local paper and the programme, even now to the extent that CL's column refers to us as the "Massif". And our own Facebook page.

 

And of course in the beginning there were the "Knitting Zombies"who fled when we started making a noise. Each to their own of course and there is more than one way to watch a speedway meeting, but what I attend now is a Social Event that you want to be part of and do not want to miss. Some great people and some genuine friendships and associations being made.

 

What I do know is that you have rekindled my passion for the sport, and the people involved in it, and it has allowed me to make contact with lost friends from many decades ago. I am proud to be a speedway supporter again and proud to be a member of the "Massif". Thanks Guys and Girls.

 

If someone had said at the start of the season that I would have attended what was basically a challenge match on a Tuesday night on the Isle of Wight to watch the Witches No. 7 ride, I would have had them classified as certifiable. Thanks Guys and Girls. It has been a truly uplifting experience and I truly hope that it continues next season, whether it be in a VIP box or simply back on the terraces.

My brother has only got to do foxhall to finish off all the tracks, not sure we can make it this year so keep the massif going for next year. We can't do this week because I'm away but when do you think there could be other meetings this season? Depends on play offs I suppose. Btw he's 49 and walks around with a tigger the tiger which we have christened "the bear" so he should fit in with you nutters.lol.btw what the heck does massif mean anyway?
