Hope not - never a number one.

A reprimand, who from? He failed to undertake one of his duties under regulation 02.2.12 f. As an official he should have been treated as a rider would have been had he committed a very dangerous offence. I would assume he, as well as receiving a reprimand, has also been reported to the SCB for them to take action.

Why was the Starting Marshal not removed from the meeting when he failed to collect the tape stabliser from the track? There is precedence for this when a similar thing happened at Workington a few years back.

Hope it is on as we are flying down tomorrow.

In Scotland they can dictate.

No planning permission for Wednesdays. Saturday is the alternative.

Meeting Off

Cook was there. Was told Pickering had removed his bikes from pits before meeting was called off.

Travelling from north of the border I've already had 2 rainoffs at Plymouth (Glasgow & Edinburgh), just wondering if it will be 3rd time lucky on the 29th, when Edinburgh are due to visit, or if I should give it a miss.

Not the case. Word from the pits was that it was to be 3 riders only, hence reason Clerk of the Course went to tapes to get Wood to leave the tapes after he suddenly appeared on track. The Edinburgh Team Manager had sent him out it appears without speaking to the CoC. Referee can only work on information passed to the box.

He was in attendance!

Wendy McAllan registered as Wendy Skinner.

Unfortunately Caydin Martin withdrew with a broken wrist. Didn't get the paperwork until late so too late to announce.

And Edinburgh are in two leagues and have two NJL teams. They also have probably the most restrictive timings for meetings where engines can only run for 2.5 hours (7.05 - 9.35).

Armadale Angels v Berwick Academy at Armadale this Friday following the Senior meeting between Monarchs and Bandits.

Spoke with Jim McGregor last night at Armadale. He is waiting on information from Edinburgh and will publish once that is forthcoming.

Believe there was a problem with the service provider which was rectified quickly.

Since all meetings are part of a two legged tie with the aggregate score coming into play explain how Tactical Substitutes are allowed?

Just been announced on EMTV Preview Show that West Lothian Wildcat v Ashfield Coleman Giants NJL match takes place on Friday at Armadale.

Any fixtures for 2023 NJL yet?

Think it will be Friday 31 March as all Monarchs riders are to be at the Launch Night at Napier Craiglockhart.

Could this not be be dealt with by a time penalty since transponders are now to be used.

Edinburgh clearly think it is a 3pm start time looking at their fixture list.

Likewise Newcastle at Redcar.

As a member of the WSRA, I believe this is wrong. We as an organisation should be supporting the SPORT not individual teams.
