Skodaman Posted October 2, 2021 Report Share Posted October 2, 2021 Did anyone see the visit of Catherine Southen to Kings Lynn speedway. The clip showed Catherine the history of speedway and some riders demonstrating racing. It wasn't brilliant but it did promote the sport. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it had been Peterborough they had gone to they could have had some of the riders as lots at the auction.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do sometimes watch the programme but missed this particular episode. I did appear fleetingly on one occasion when a member of the audience at a local auction.

SteveLyric2 Posted October 3, 2021 Report Share Posted October 3, 2021 (edited) Yes I did see it. Nice bit of unexpected speedway exposure and an unexpected antique find in Edwin Overland!! BBC's 'Flog it' also visited Poole a few years ago and interviewed Neil and Ken Middleditch. Edited October 3, 2021 by Skidder1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
uk_martin Posted October 3, 2021 Report Share Posted October 3, 2021 I've seen collections of speedway badges on sale in Bargain Hunt...very often being sold at auction a lot cheaper than you'd get on sale from certain "specialist" speedway memorabilia auctions / sellers.

I was there at Poole that night- must have been against Reading in the "bulldogs" era - meeting was rained off i think. I saw Paul Martin.
