Tsunami 10,219 Posted September 15, 2011 (edited) The WCQR results at Middlesbro' was great to see-but who is M.Tate?? Maurice Tate is an Uncle of the current Swales boys and currently works on the start gate at Redcar. I used to watch both Maurice and his brother, another Jackie I think, scrambling at the now defunct scramble track at Belmont, Co Durham in the late 50's. Maurice always won, but if he didn't then Jackie usually did. That was unless a Lampkin was visiting. I used to ride my bicycle down from Newcastle to each meeting.
