Guest Posted October 24, 2016 This interesting item in regard to the Spanish Civil War (1936-39) appears on the Rye House website. It mentions speedway rider Clem Beckett who died in 1937 when fighting with the communists against the Spanish Army. http://www.ryehouserockets.co/news.php?extend.1349 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

speedboy 19 Posted October 24, 2016 Saw the play at the weekend very good performance would highly recommend if they come to your area Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TeamBouchard 31 Posted October 24, 2016 Yep, a most entertaining couple of hours. Saw it last week and the two man show is great. Plenty of Speedway in the first half - with audience participation. As noted above, if it's anywhere close to you on its national tour, make the effort and go along. You will not be disappointed. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
