We had James at Ipswich for a full season in 2016 and i don't think he hardly ever broke the tapes, he rode at number 2 with King at 1 and they proved a very good pairing round Foxhall, his bad habits started after that and continues till this day.

With no track collections this season and less money coming into the Ben fund this year has their been any other sort of fund raising  going on this year.

I did mean to raise this issue earlier in the year but it had slipped my mind.

 I wonder if anything can be organised such as  Ben Speedway raffle (competition ?) etc, or riders donating some stuff

just trying to look at ideas as I’m sure the Ben fund pot will low?

is the Ben Fund being replaced this year by the NHS meeting at Wolves?

I sincerely hope not.  The NHS meeting is certainly a worthwhile exercise, but for speedway the BenFund is ultra-important.  Just ask Ricky Ashworth, Garry Stead or Neil Hewitt, among so many, many others.......

Eastbourne Speedway's free magazine Flying High had a feature in the last edition on the SRBF and there was a mention of a hope to have a BEN fund meeting later in the year.

You can see the magazine at Eastbourne Speedway's website...good read all round and all for free.
