The sole aim of the BEN fund is to support injured riders both short & long term however best they can. The main fund raiser is the now anual Bonaza. Good luck to the riders, Paul Ackroyd & his team for a successful 2024 event. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
martinmauger Posted March 1 Report Share Posted March 1 (edited) Think the Ben Fund meeting would also be a good 'test the water meeting' for Celina Liebmann in addition the Peter Craven Memorial at Belle Vue. She will need to jump at in the deep end & race the top riders sooner or later but think a meeting of this kind, on her home track, would be a good, better ?, 'test the water' meeting for her. As with everyone, I'm looking forward to seeing her race, good luck to her hope she goes well....

H20 Posted March 1 Report Share Posted March 1 The Ben Fund also take into account taking the first meeting off the holding promotion. They guaranteed a big crowd so maybe good idea not including any Comets leave them for our first meeting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think Celina is riding in a separate ladies section of the Ben fund meeting, along with the young kids section Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think Celina will do ok at worky, from what I've seen live and on video, she seems to like the bigger tracks, but not to sure about some of the away tracks, Edinburgh and Plymouth 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
