Guest Sir Lunchalot Posted March 14, 2004 And modesty forbids Andy from saying who sponsored the main trophies for the event. Andy, well done mate, I heard today at Broadford. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Andy 0 Posted March 15, 2004 Yes indeed i did sponsor the main trophies on Sat night, and the young kids liked them. It make them all feel that someone out there thinks of Sidewinders, and what they are doing is good. It my way of giving something back to Speedway for the years of enjoyment. Was it Josh Munro's Dad Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Sir Lunchalot Posted March 15, 2004 It was indeed Josh Munro's dad Andy. He was busy telling a few people how much the kids enjoyed them and how their eyes lit up when they saw the trophies and I was lucky enough to be close enough to hear. I'm a bit the same with the kids, adults I can take or leave most times but nothing quite like the look on the kids faces when they get a nice surprise and that makes it all worth it. I'm a bit surprised the Munro's were there actually, from Adelaide on Saturday to Broadford by Sunday lunchtime and then to be ready to ride is no mean feat !!

shazzybird 10 Posted March 25, 2004 I just happened to fall into this thread by mistake Sounds like a good meeting all round, excellent that Andy sponsored the trophies and that the kids are pleased with them. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Sir Lunchalot Posted March 25, 2004 I've since seen the pictures of the trophies Shaz, and brilliant ones they were too. In particular there were some fancy glassware trophies that had been engraved and looked absolutely super and were something a bit different from the usual metal trophies.

Absolutely, I think the glassware idea comes from Andy's trips to Eastern Europe (I'll call it the Roman Jankowski influence).....Andy, please explain.

Andy 0 Posted March 26, 2004 Hi Yes it was Roman Jankowski who had a infulance on the Glass trophie as i got the first one whe i went to Poland with the Hackney team back in 1980 for 3 meetings and after the meeting at Leszno the club gave to the dope and oil boys a glass trophie as a thank you , as the riders got there prizes when they rode in the meetings. When i went to Poland in 2000 Roman gave to me a keep sake from a friend (RJ). Polish Glass is good and is hand made. I feel that a glass trophie as a change from the other types of Trophies and they do look good. Roman has a lot of them from his riding days. Andy Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
