A shameless bump back up the order for this one. Anyone?

It was Colin & Terry's relationship I was wondering about. I've found Terry riding in Wolverhampton training school matches in 1972/73 so it seems highly likely he is the rider in question. Thanks for your help.

Duncan Meredith was established in the Ellesmere Port side in 1975 so I ruled him out. Terry Meredith would seem like a good bet. Was he related to Colin who was riding for Bradford at that time?

Can anyone provide the forename of this rider, who I have riding in a 'Challengers Chance' race at Odsal in 1975.

I wonder what happens if the rider is already off a 15m handicap. I like this one: 15.16 HANDICAP HEAT RULES (for offences shown in Art 15.3, or permitted by an SR c) as per Art. 15.15.7 only the Handicap option is available. In an Individual event that permits the use of the 15-metre “Handicap” option for a Starting Offence (Art 15.3, then the ruling allows for multiple use, providing gate (d) is used, then gate (e) for any subsequent offending riders. Yeh, start 'em on the dog track...

I'm looking to confirm if Glasgow used R/R for Bobby Beaton at #3 with Colin Caffrey at #8 or if Caffrey replaced Beaton at #3. There's no obvious reason why R/R would not have been in operation but Caffrey took all 4 rides and Lawson & McKinna only took additional rides as tactical substitutes, so it warrants checking. I also require the 2nd half details if anyone has them.

Edited for accuracy...

Berwick, Milton Keynes, Halifax, Barrow, Scunthorpe, Middlesbrough, Stoke, Weymouth, Birmingham, Bristol, Buxton and Hull. Plus Newport on the cusp.

Glasgow were scheduled to visit Wimborne Road on the 21st July 1987 but the meeting was rained off. Glasgow, or Workington as they became, did not return before going out of business. I'm trying to find out when or if the programme was re-issued. My research until now has seemingly eliminated all possible matches with the exception of 4th August Blue Riband, 1st September v Australia, 13th October 4TT and 20th October Martin Yeates Testimonial. To be honest I doubt it was used for any of those. Any information appreciated. Thanks.

I was sent lists but they required some work and I'm only about a third of the way through them. I think they'll do the trick once I'm finished but if they don't I'll get back to you. Thanks for the offer.

No worries. The programme (not mine) is marked up to some degree, do you want any of that info?

Bulldogs: Kelvin Tatum, Paul Thorp, Richard Knight, Neil Evitts, Malcolm Simmons, Andy Galvin and Jamie White at reserve.

This sad news concerns Jimmy Beaton Senior, father of Bobby, Jim and the late George Beaton. A true legend. RIP Jimmy.

Aye I've already seen those. The year-by-year lists only run until 1972. I could extract them from the team lists but I wanted to see if anyone had ready-made lists to save me several hours of work.

Does anyone have prepared season-by-season lists of riders from 1965 onwards? I don't need any other details (averages, clubs, etc) just the riders, year-by-year.

That was the only possible reason I could come up with but it was hard to tell from the footage. Thanks.

In heat 8, when the rider caught the bales on the back straight, why was the rider in red (Makarov) also excluded from the rerun?

I'm trying to pin down a date for a Scottish Junior League fixture between Halifax and Berwick. By all accounts it should have been 21st June 1980 but having got the programme it was Halifax v Stoke that night. I've eliminated two other possible dates 5th & 12th July so that just leaves the 28th June Dews Superstar Trophy and 6th July Inter-League 4TT Halifax v Berwick v Hull v Sheffield. The latter is obviously a prime target. Can anyone confirm the date and, if possible, furnish me with the heat details of the junior match?

Indeed they did. However, according to the yearbook, in the return match at Barrow it was Jeff Ratcliffe who rode!

Yeh I've got him confirmed. The rider I'm looking for also 2nd halved at Ellesmere Port, in fact I have a record of them both in the one race.

Can anyone confirm this riders' correct name? He rode around Northern circuits in the 80's at junior level and I've seen various combinations of his fore- and surname.

Thank you very much.
