Popular Post jrs Posted October 16, 2018 Popular Post Report Share Posted October 16, 2018 With the end of the season just around the corner I would like to thank Sue and her very special team for the magnificent service that they provide. For many many years we've maybe taken the updates site for granted, but believe me each and every texter and updater, and Sue's right hand people are really appreciated. Thank you guys 27 12 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Doctor... Posted October 16, 2018 Report Share Posted October 16, 2018 Out of interest how long has updates been going ? I remember doing them at the gp challenge in krsko in 2001 for the old yahoogroups email thing when we were over there.. seems crazy long time ago now.

jrs Posted October 16, 2018 Author Report Share Posted October 16, 2018 I'm guessing Sue must have been doing it for about eight or ten years now. Shame we don't see her much on the forum these days. It's been invaluable to me for staying in touch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It says a lot that this has been going for 20 odd years, organised and run by the fans for the fans and the BSPA are still unable, with all the technology at our hands these days, to organise something to replace it for the fans... Mind you, i doubt we'd get some of the comical comments on the race reports if they did. Knowing the BSPA they've probably looked at ways of closing it down Long live live updates Edited October 17, 2018 by iainb 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coventry_Bee Posted October 17, 2018 Report Share Posted October 17, 2018 A very big thanks indeed.. I recall getting back from Brandon on a Saturday night, think it was putting on teletext then watching pages just pass you by until a result and a top scorer came through. How times moved on and now you refresh when there is a big gap between heat results !! Silver bee was great at one liners in his updates on the bees, he was particularity complimentary to Hans Andersen and KK (especially if away at Wolverhampton) The riders all must take a look and it is with a pinch of salt but like a post above mentioned if it was done by the powers above then it would be very dull. Long may it continue !!!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Long may it continue !!!! SilverBee is sadly missed on this forum, and I think it must be at least a year since he was texting on updates. A sharp wit and a half. But full marks to all of the others, texters and updaters for doing a difficult job whilst trying to enjoy themselves. Don't know how texters manage on our freezing cold nights when meetings are running late. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember doing them at the gp challenge in krsko in 2001 for the old yahoogroups email thing when we were over there.. seems crazy long time ago now. Former forum member Krissie,created the original Updates site to try to save the monthly bandwidth on this forum,as back in 2002/3 Phil sometimes ran out and the forum went down. Krissie ran it until sometime in 2005,then Sue picked up the reigns and to keep it going this long is quite the achievement. The first updates I remember were from a Swindon home meeting in 2000,when WAP phones started to appear.
