The White Knight 9,039 Posted March 25, 2013 I attended the Official Practice at Newcastle Speedway's Brough Park on Sunday and I have rarely been so cold in my life. Imagine my surprise then, when I went to the Track Shop to get a couple of Bovrils, I was given my Drinks and I offered my money for payment and was told "That is quite all right the Hot Drinks are Free of Charge". I would like to THANK the Newcastle Promotion for this. On a day as cold as Sunday they probably could have made a real killing on Hot Drinks - BUT - they looked after the welfare of their Supporters (Customers) instead. I think that this was a tremendous gesture in these tight Financial times. I, for one, will always be grateful for this effort. Once again - Many Thanks Newcastle Speedway. Oh!!! - The Drink warmed me up beautifully too. 21 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

brianbuck 928 Posted March 26, 2013 Yes. Well done Newcastle Speedway. Typical generosity and thoughtfulness of Geordies. Birmingham made a similar gesture with free hot drinks and cakes at the Perry Barr Press and Practice Day, which was also much appreciated by those of us there. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I know that refreshments were served from the pits hut - although I didn't know they were free - they kept it pretty quiet, not deliberately I'm sure!
