Tsunami Posted February 9, 2020 Report Share Posted February 9, 2020 13 hours ago, RobMcCaffery said: Excellent news. I do hope they make it a huge success. Many thanks for that. The main meeting of course is the top riders event. In addition, there is planned to have as many as possible previous Diamonds doing demo races, possible uprights races and special races including the Gems/Sapphires members. The doors will be opened earlier and there will be entertainment for the kids in the form of fairground rides. No doubt a hog roast will appear at some time. The meeting, as well at the whole season, will be sponsored be our areas largest radio station. Metro Radio, who will be allied to the big sponsor which has yet to be announced. Yes, exciting times ahead. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

leander Posted February 9, 2020 Report Share Posted February 9, 2020 5 hours ago, Tsunami said: Ha Ha. Yes it would have been great to get Nicki but I am sure Rob would have considered it especially with the pull he would have added to the event. Knowing Nicki, if he could have made it he would of. He always speaks so highly of his time up here, and what it did for him. His biggest regret was he didn't stay up here, having digs in Peterborough with the same arrangements that his brother Ronni had enjoyed. He wished he had stayed up here for to know and socialise with his favourite fans. Ironically he did the same at Wolverhampton which is why they didn't really take to him. You never know do you. Rob stated at the first "fan night" that Nicki had been asked (along with Bjarne and Kenneth Bjerre). It's possible that Nicki has a compulsory polish practice that weekend, since they are rather good at that. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's great to have both Worrall's there as well as some others, a bit disappointed there's no Ludde or Rob Lambert, Cook and Pickering. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dandelion Posted February 11, 2020 Report Share Posted February 11, 2020 Is the website ever going to be fixed? They keep posting new news articles on there but I can't read them because a 404 error comes up every time I try to click on them... A waste of time updating it tbh...

I haven't been there this winter. As you say the track has been smoothed out with the big Redcar blade. Pity the blade takes ripples and peaks off, but not hollows/dips. There has been vandalism to the home straight fence, and that is currently having to be replaced, posts, mesh and kickboards. The airfence still has to be returned to the track, and most of the kickboards repainted ready to be refixed. With some decent weather(obviously not this Sunday) there is still plenty of time to get it done if there is sufficient volunteers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cambasdiamond Posted February 13, 2020 Report Share Posted February 13, 2020 (edited) We took the home fence down dogs cut 6 inches off bottom to get weeds out without asking Rob so he decided to replace whole home straight Edited February 13, 2020 by Cambasdiamond Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
