  23. Latest update from Nick on the bank holiday collection and the plans to be at Workington on Saturday: Quick update: we had an amazing response to our visits to both Belle Vue and Sheffield where we collected over £500 all together for the Speedway riders benevolent fund. This will be added to our total Gofundme. Everyone that's donated recently we thank you so much, just shy of £2000 now and we are heading up to Workington this Saturday to give a big push up there and get the word out bit more. We have had coverage and help from Speedway Star and programme spots, we want to make this huge as we have so many riders out injured at present and funds are diminishing. Thanks for now.
  24. Update from Stoney on the money collected for the Ben Fund from Belle Vue and Sheffield on Bank Holiday Monday: On bank holiday monday we took our car for under £500 to @bellevuespeedway and @sheffieldspeedway armed with a bucket trying to promote our trip in aid of @srbf. We parked up at the turnstiles before both meetings, and thanks to your generosity, we surprisingly between us all made a grand total of £528.63 which will be paid into the Ben Fund this week. £209.29 at Belle Vue and £319.34 at Sheffield. We are delighted with the way things are progressing, its just the car at the moment thats the problem, which again developed another misfire on our way over the penines. She's in the garage @mantra being looked at by the students who hopefully will get her singing again. Thank you to all who donated to our cause, and if you wish to donate you can always visit our gofundme. Cheers. Stoney & NTL. X https://www.gofundme.com/f/speedway-riders-benevolent-fund
