barrybishop Posted August 20, 2021 Report Share Posted August 20, 2021 Pretty proud of this feedback.... have lots more to share too if you would like it... I guess most of us use FB which is where we post it all I would just like to say a big thank you to Rob Snow for organising the vintage Jap racing last night and to Barry Bishop and Martin Widman for welcoming us to Smallbrook. I have been to many tracks in my fifty year association with the sport as both a supporter and rider and I can honestly say that last night was the most welcoming experience I have had at any UK track. What a pleasure to find a clean tidy stadium, riders toilets that are safe to go in and good refreshments at a reasonable price. Barry has certainly looked up the definition of a “promoter” in the dictionary and I cannot fault him for his effort and enthusiasm. Last night was certainly a list of firsts for me. First time on the island. First time at Smallbrook and most importantly the first time I have ever been pushed off for a race by a promoter! So once again thank you for last night, keep up the good work that you are doing and I wish you every success. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

heathen52 Posted August 26, 2021 Report Share Posted August 26, 2021 Just a thought whilst watching the Cricket, how about doing a fancy dress (Themed or otherwise) at your final meeting, Im sure the Kids and even some grown ups would be up for that sort of thing, yes i know some might be regarded as being in fancy dress at times . The winner to be decided on the centre Green and chosen by the riders. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barrybishop Posted September 21, 2021 Report Share Posted September 21, 2021 With a week to go until the final meeting of the season we though we should make the most of the spare time and ask for your feedback of the season so far. You all know our situation and how we came to be in this position we are this season. So whether you are a fan, sponsor, volunteer, rider, fan from a distance, or even management, how did we do? We would like to know how you feel we have done, how was your relationship with your club, what in your view could we improve upon and what did you like the most? Now it’s time for you to take the mic and give us your feedback. I have one request though – if your point is something particularly controversial please send Kevin, Rob, Martin or myself a DM and we can pick it up from there rather than blast it across social media. Then once we know the reason, we can discuss it, publicly state it, along with what we are doing to remedy it or not, as the case may be. Thanks for your feedback 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's sad, but true. Hopefully the BSPL will recognise that the Isle of Wight is not a promotion that does not take safety, insurance and so on very seriously and that they view us for what we are, allowing rider of all ability to ride here should they choose to and not presurise them with punitive threats of a made up punishment, or dare I say it, they BSPL clubs with threats of fines or other punishment. Having said that of course, I think the 3TTs and Individuals work brilliantly and will of course be part of next years offering. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I went to one of the 3TT meetings and the Nora 500CC British championship. For me, they meet the requirements of 'something for the traditionalists'. My expectations were exceeded by the racing on show. The riders certainly took it seriously and I enjoyed it immensely. When that is combined with all the other races put on in various speedway classes (Pee Wee, 125cc, Women's races, uprights etc) - all wrapped up in a fantastic customer experience and an entertaing show - I thought they were fantastic nights out. I know you are supportive of the IOW City Rebel, but not sure if you were able to get over this year with the travel challenges! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I went with my mate, who's son was riding in the kids races. It was an experience going to the Speedway on the car ferry, after attending approximately 150 meetings using the Fastcat. Surely i must be due a knighthood! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
