crazysue

Oh yes, I intend to have a brilliant time...had a bit of a panic today, went up town and got my euro's, came home and just sort of dropped the bags on the floor. When I got back from the school run I asked youngest if he would like to count my euros and he said yes....and I couldn't find the bloody things!!! Mad panic followed with stuff being uprooted in the front room and me becoming ever more in stress and panic mode untill I finally discovered I had put them in a safe place and had forgotten about it.

And I can't wait!!

They were treated to a fine display from the up and coming British talent, in this first Test Match, between the Under 16’s, and Under15’s of Peter Oakes Youth Academy. Fourteen years old Joshua Auty looked a cut above the rest, with a fine display to return a 12 maximum, on his first look at the Oak Tree arena circuit. He produced some very quick times, with his last, 60.60 secs, not far behind some of the times recorded in the earlier Premier League encounter. Not too far behind him, in points scoring at least, came Tim Webster, with a fine 8 points from three rides. Another who looks to be a future prospect, is Ben Taylor who, had in not been for an engine failure in his last ride, would have returned at least 8+3 from his 4 rides, as it was he had to make do with 6+2. Shane Waldron, who had been one of Auty’s main rivals in last years Under 15 Championship, had a disappointing evening, with an EF, and only three third places to show for his night’s endeavours. Brendon Johnson was another on the score sheet with two wins, and a third from 3 rides. The ends result was a 19-29 win for the Under 15’s side, in a match where all rider rode with enough enthusiasm, and commitment to show that we have a great crop of young stars coming through the ranks. The only disappointment was that the other rising start of British Speedway, Lewis Bridger, was not here to take on Auty, as that would have been a match up to produce the fireworks.

Yes but which gigalo is going to help me with my luggage?

Updates on this meeting will be available Here

I'm going....with eldest son in tow.

Think I have found something Here Click the tab at the top 500ccm team, and then Danish Speedway League.

Thanks ha en bra födelsedag, I have placed that link on the Updates site.

Garf, can you let me know if they definately appear and I will put a link on the updates site to it. Thanks

Awesome looking stadium, yet another reason to visit Croatia in the future, along with being able to get a cheap place to stay courtesy of a work colleague and being able to speak some Croatian.

And I was just copying and pasting!! I didn't cover the meeting, just copied and pasted over from the updates site, so I can't be sure of what really went on but it does indeed seem to be very petty.

I think for any of the lads taking part it is very well done. I know my son reads all these comments and keeps asking why he can't do the same (he is nearly 12) but I don't think it would do my stress levels any good, especially after the fright he gave me on the Sittingbourne training track . I keep telling him to stick to the swimming, less stressful for dear old mum
