Tony will you be covering the Hackney reunion in your next issue?

Well, just picked up my new Backtrack, and the article and pics are fantastic. That event will live with me forever and to have such a good write up in the Backtack mag and on the reunion website fantastic! Well done to all concerned from a very happy old Hackney supporter!

General discussion board has that Bo Petersen is coming to the reunion, fan bloody tastic!

For those who want a quick answer, the Hackney website says Dave Morton will be at the Hackney re-union later this year, yippieeeeeee. Sorry rather a sad man whose excitement gets the better of him at the thought of meeting up with guys I still idolise!

Fantastic............ I cannot wait. This by the sounds of it is going to be one hell of a bash! What price are the tickets going to be, and where can I get them from?

I no it's been christmas and all that, but any news yet on riders and a date yet? Really excited by the whole two day's and want to put the dates in my diary asap!

Quote "Just make sure Tadpole that the reunion is NOT scheduled prior to Feb 3rd" Like I said in a previous posting your not even allowed a re-union out of season, unless the BSPA give it there full blessing, ie a couple of quid in someones pocket!

Funny how reading through this thread has bought back memories that had been locked away in the back of my mind for many, many years. There are of course several people who will say nothing new there then, I know! The one in particular memory that has sprung to my mind, like that spring in the Magic Roundabout, saying time for bed! Talking of roundabout’s how’s Chris Golding? I digress on this occasion. Oh dear I think the funny pills are working overtime! Back to the point in question, NEWS FLASH! Just listening to RTE radio on line. Irelands worst plane disaster struck today when a two- seater plane crashed into a cemetery. Irish rescue workers have recovered 828 bodies, digging continues, oh dear! Anyway like the man was saying the memory that has got jogged today was the twenty-four hour darts marathon I think in aid of the Barry Thomas XX Testimonial Fund. Was quite a night and day in the Vic Harding Lounge where the marathon took place. Hopefully a load more memories will come flying back when once again we will hear the sound of the Magnificent Seven theme music on a Friday at Eight! However, especially Coventry, beware of imitations!

Re-union what a great idea. Count me in for two people! Will speak to other people I know at the weekend meeting at Brighton on Sunday. There are lot's of people I no that do not to speedway anymore, I am sure they would be interested! Good Luck and see you there! Just a thought, do you have to get permission from the BSPA to hold a re-union???????
