all tracks must hold a compulsory collection once per season

 

Thanks Bernard, this is a very interesting fact. Perhaps the Speedway Star could print a list of which tracks DID have collections and how much was collected, I was certainly not aware of this.

 

Count me in for a T-shirt too!.

It's a money spinner I'll have one and maybe could flog a few within the family as well to raise funds.

Yes all for a very good cause, instead of lining someones pocket!!!

Just wondering who gets the money raised?

I know a rider who is Disabled who has got Nothing and even has too pay FULL price to enter some tracks? is this the right way to treat ex riders who have become Disabled, or should these promotors be named and shamed ?

if the rider concerned gets in touch with bernard crapper thru the bspa/sbrf then he can look in 2 it further

 

 

thanks

ok thanks, i will ask him to write in to bernard but i do know that when he became very ill the bspa were asked about help for this rider but even though several riders & a top ref wanted to support this rider the bspa said NO they cant help.

thanks again for your message i will put him in touch with bernard.

the money goes to riders injured while riding.

 

i got £150 per month in 1990 when i broke my thigh.

 

not sure how someone would go about claiming if the disability is not a direct result of racing.

not sure ME would be classed as a problem brought on by racing... worth a call to the people running it though

seeing as the supporters who make this fund then dont you think that we should see total figure at end of each season and balance?

[Feline Fine 1]

Badge Wearer,

 

I will pass your comment on to Bernard Crapper as soon as I see him next.

Any chance of coming up with dates for when the SRBF collections will be taking place around the country? Last year three times I got to tracks only to hear announced that there would be a collection that night......like many others I like to give to the fund but don't generally carry much more money than I need for admission, food etc. Some advance notice of the collection would mean a nice big pile of change heading into the nearest rider's helmet cover!

[Feline Fine 1]

Sounds like a great idea. I'll ask Bernard Crapper when the collections are due and where and post them on here when I know. Thanks for the suggestion. I'm sure the SRBF will appreciate it.
