A BIG thank you to Colin North at TENG TOOLS for his sponsorship of the NLRC at Leicester on Sunday 30th Sept. Line-up should be announced this week ...still sponsorship available as main meeting backer, race, rider, tyre, fuel sponsors .... e-mail: laurencerogers@blueyonder.co.uk or TEXT 07801429304

The 2018 NLRC is on Sunday 30th September at Leicester (2.30pm start). Each club will be represented and the organisers are looking for a range of sponsors for the event. The title sponsorship for the event is available along with heat sponsorship at £100 per race, Rider sponsors at £50 , Tyre sponsors and a set of body colours will hopefully be sponsored and will be signed and auctioned off after the meeting. Sponsors interested can e-mail : laurencerogers@blueyonder.co.uk to arrange their backing

good idea ... yes but you can reserve one as already had several enquiries. Will see what price to pitch the mascot idea at ....perhaps arranging a replica team body colour within the price

2018 MDL AND SDL The clubs involved in the Midland and Southern Development Leagues met at Perry Barr Stadium , Birmingham on Saturday to make decisions in readiness for the 2018 season. Both leagues have lost clubs unfortunately but have a few new additions although , as yet, three need to be confirmed. In the MDL Scunthorpe have withdrawn whilst Milton Keynes are in discussions to remain in the league . In The SDL Plymouth are not running their Demons side this year whilst Exeter move their operation from Somerset to the St Boniface Arena whilst Weymouth are in discussions to share the Eastbourne track with Reading. Kent are awaiting confirmation that they will be using Iwade as their home circuit in 2018. The MDL welcomes the Birmingham Bulls as a new club whilst Kings Lynn may return to the fold in that league if they can sort a few things out to compete. The SDL welcomes the Isle of Wight Wizards whilst the Bristol Bulldogs are awaiting news on where they will be based having been in talks with Swindon to run there. The loss of Scunthorpe has also meant the loss of 2017 MDL co-ordinator Nigel Hinchcliffe , who has decided to cut his ties with the league and return to just watching from the terraces. With less involvement than last year having resigned at Plymouth new Birmingham team boss Laurence Rogers, who co-ordinated the SDL last year, was voted in to co-ordinate both leagues with support from the MDL from Carmarthen’s Lawrence Fielding and the SDL from Reading’s Emma Pike. He commented, “ it is a great pity to lose Nigel who did a superb job running the MDL last year . Having cut back on my workload with Plymouth I know I can oversee both leagues with the support of Lawrence and Emma . The AGM was a good one with so much agreed without opposition and a real good feeling throughout the clubs.” The format and rules of the leagues remain unchanged with the race format retained of four man teams over six heats with opportunities for running three junior races for the 125/150cc or 250cc riders if clubs can include them. Clubs will be naming four man main squads with riders also being added to a national pool of riders that clubs can use with riders in the two leagues being encouraged to get as much experience as they can by racing in both leagues if they can. There will also be inter-league challenges where clubs are trying to give their riders more track time and meetings and run regular second halves . The eligibility of riders remains unchanged in 2018. There will be no play –offs with the team at the top named as champions and if fixtures allow at the end of the season there may be a two legged clash between the MDL and SDL Champions. There will be a joint MDL/SDL Riders Championship Final with the venue being sorted with two possible ones being discussed at the AGM. Once confirmation of Milton Keynes, Kings Lynn and Bristol is received then the final format of the two leagues will be known. If all come to the tapes there will six teams in each league meeting home and away once. MDL : Birmingham ; Belle Vue; Carmarthen (at Stoke); Kings Lynn (TBC) ; Milton Keynes (TBC);Peterborough. SDL : Bristol (at Swindon TBC) ; Exeter (at Plymouth); IOW; Kent (at Iwade TBC); Reading (at Eastbourne) ; Weymouth (at Eastbourne TBC).

Fans have the chance to sponsor any of the Brummies for fuel, oil, tyres, kevlars ..or whatever ....all help gratefully received by all the riders

all at Iwade 12 noon start Sun 29 April IOW Sun 17 June Reading Sun 12 Aug Exeter Sun 30 Sept Weymouth

individual in 2nd half involving the 8 riders

weather forecasts are historically inaccurate..... hopefully the sun will be shining and the place packed ..... so don't make hasty decisions 24 hours before a meeting

yes he has ...badly broke his leg at Mildenhall year before and now back living in Cornwall

Unfortunately Peter has not been well either. To correct one thing there is that I am the TM but will also be the co-promoter ...and I do know what is going on behind the scenes . There is daily contact between the key people involved with Birmingham Speedway .....and Lee Kilby gave more updates than just about sponsorship . The meeting went well and those fans there went away happy at what had been discussed and what they heard.

she did

she was.. she rode MDL for Halifax before

Kyle is one of the riders being looked at ! He hasn't ridden since his injury last year

Kings Lynn are looking to do a few challenges with a view to hopefully coming back in 2019 to the MDL. Bristol are looking to also do a few challenges and hope that will lead to a 2019 SDL spot. Notice JJ had mentioned Leicester and I did have talks with them but with a weekday staging now in the top flight they cannot commit to doing any 2nd halves at the moment but again hopefully that will change in the future.

A very good AGM and the news fro it will be forthcoming asap

thanks Brian. I rarely come on here and wondered what this guy was on !!

Adonis have I upset you ? What tracks have I closed down then? I was working for Newport but I didn't close it down ...that was due to stock cars pulling out at last moment. I was at Coventry but did I close that down ? No ..in fact I wouldn't have been there as joined with Mark Phillips to SAVE Plymouth . So unsure what you are on about ??
