Ben Fund Meeting 2016

[Trees 2,814]

Not content with posting pure guff on the Berwick threads, you now come up with this little beauty.

No worries, let's hope it's a good line up and dry, sunny, spring weather

IMO Kings Lynn is an excellent venue for this meeting and I hope it will be packed, at least we know who wont be presenting it.

No surprise, is it? No sooner does Buster take over the top job than the plum meetings all get "allocated" to King's Lynn.

 

BenFund Bonanza in March, GP Challenge in May AND the U-21 World Final in June!

 

Explanation please, Buster --- in six seasons that Alex Harkess was top man, Edinburgh didn't get a single money-meeting.

 

Did you really take on this role to make UK speedway better? Or just to line your own pockets?

Why have this meeting on the same day and time as the World Speedway Riders Assoc Dinner/Dance which has been arranged for twelve months.

A lot of people would like to go to both events and can't. I suppose it's too much to hope for two different bodies in Speedway to ever consult each other over dates.

Why change the habits of a lifetime, it just beggars belief

Incorrect as Edinburgh got a British semi a couple of years back. Maybe not quite as prestigious, but it's still a good meeting to be granted!

I hadn't realised that Ben had taken part in each Ben Fund meeting since 2009, so kudos to him.

According to Twitter Rory has been asked for some input in making the presentation better If it's only 25% as good as his testimonial it will be a vast improvement.

Agreed, and I also hadn't realised that he and Mads Korneliussen had been added to the rider list already.

yes indeed he has and they presented him with a badge from each one at swindon to say thankyou.

If only every rider has this kind of commitment to the Ben Fund meeting, but credit to Barker for taking part in all the meetings so far.

He won the one held at Poole too didn't he?

 

Edit. Brum. I was thinking of the New Year Classic meeting.

I don't pray for rain, all I pray for is for all speedway folk, whoever they are, promoters, riders or fans toorganise events without clashing with each other. Although it isn't easy it might work if everyone talked to each other. As I said it's a forlorn hope in speedway unfortunately.
