Somewhere else that’s closed is Jack’s Hill Cafe on the A5 to the north of Towcester. This was a regular stop for supporters’ coaches returning north from the big meetings at Wembley, also in the London area such as British Finals, FIM Internationale, etc.

So sad. RIP Guy.

Remind me, please, who is Edie?

Cricket?

Apologies, memory failure. A relative of Tom’s lived near us and invited me round to look through some memorabilia - cuttings, photos, trophies, etc - back in the mid1970s. It was of course New Zealand, not Australia. My notes show that on his first appearance at Western Springs, Tom clocked a race time of 78.6 secs, next night he lowered Squib Burton’s track record of 78.2 with a 77.0. He also broke the one mile record there. Four wins on his second appearance. At Wellington, he “scored brilliantly” and the following week recorded 6 wins in 6 starts.

He certainly did and broke track records all over the place

True, but probably my favourite rider!!

Olympic Stadium, London???

Thanks

Can I ask….. what are blue-light tickets?

Thanks. I saw the scores. I wondered what happened for him to score so low.

What happened to Zack?

I take it that’s not a photo of you, the avatar, then?

Isn’t he something to do with Hans Andersen?

His broom just broke!

Coventry!

Cheers!

Pardon?

Great career move for Bomber!

It’s not the Premiership Riders Championship, though!

Like not taking off his Monsterous cap when receiving his medal the other day.

Gracious! Someone actually sticking up for old Shoveller! That’s a rarity. Agreed, best wishes to the cameraman, same to Roynon, Cook too.
