Olle Nygren Training Schools

Did anyone attend one of Olle's Training Schools at King's Lynn and have any stories to tell?

I went in 1980 and didn't pull up any trees it has to be said...scared the living daylights out of me if I'm honest but I'm glad that I gave it a go. Remember one lad brought his own bike with him and it was bugger to fire up...three of us pushed it the best part of half a lap to get it started. Another lad if I recall went to hospital when he hit the pits gate.

The Lynn changing rooms were a disgrace from memory and to fill in the evening hours me and my 'mechanic' (my brother) went to the local cinema to watch "A Fistfull of Dollars"

My elder bother attended a couple of years previously and shared a bike with Chris Prime who was later killed riding for Newcastle in a race that featured Kenny Carter (?)

Great memories!
