Bryn 413 Posted April 8, 2015 What is the actual attraction in this for ex-Crayford riders? Is there some sort of reunion also taking place for them? Have you read the title of the topic Mr. H? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
oldace 1,678 Posted April 8, 2015 What is the actual attraction in this for ex-Crayford riders? Is there some sort of reunion also taking place for them? Another case of a thread title not giving any indication what the thread is about. Maybe if there is a Crayford Reunion on the 13/04/2015 Bryn could have incorporated those words into his title. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The White Knight 9,039 Posted April 8, 2015 (edited) Is Pete Wigley attending? Edited April 8, 2015 by The White Knight Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
oldace 1,678 Posted April 8, 2015 The usual BSF responses. What I wanted to know was, apart from the carried date and title, actually what was planned for any Crayford riders who might attend. What are you talking about, I was agreeing with you. I thought "Crayford Reunion" were a pop group who had sponsored a rider and had been listed in the programme instead of the rider they sponsored. That sort of thing has been known to happen in the past you know Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The White Knight 9,039 Posted April 9, 2015 As we were saying...! ::::: The Kent Kings website give this update in regard to possible former Crayford riders who may attend the meeting: "Special guests from Crayford’s past who’ve confirmed they’ll be attending include five riders from the ‘Class of ‘75’: skipper and New National League Riders Champion that year, Laurie Etheridge; ever-present heat-leader Alan Sage, who hails from Ashford; the hugely popular long-time track record holder at the iconic Crayford Stadium venue, Pete Wigley; Crayford discovery from that first year riding as the Kestrels, Bill Archer; and Alan Johns, the colourful character whose brother Roger rode for Canterbury and in the top division for Wimbledon. Other former Kestrels riders in attendance are the legendary Barry Thomas, who also built the training track at Iwade with his late brother Ivor; Canterbury-born Chris Tritton; the much-travelled Alan Mogridge, who holds the British Speedway record for having ridden for the most clubs in a 25 year-long career; and Les Rumsey, hero of the Kestrels’ National Fours title of 1980." I thought Roger Johns rode mainly for Eastbourne 'Eagles' gustix. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Parsloes 1928 nearly 495 Posted April 10, 2015 Have to say gustix's question puzzles me! What does he think a reunion is..? A reunion is what it says on the lid really - people gathering together to meet up again and share memories, catch up etc. And yes that's EXACTLY what our very welcome guests from the Crayford Kestrels teams of the past will be able to do on Monday at Central Park.
