Our "Superstars" wont be there both are on holiday which is unfortunate as would love to have seen them pulling wheelies again with flowing locks

Ken have mailed you. Beginning to wonder if there are going to be a few Crusaders turn up on the day that we haven't contacted but hey the more the merrier thats what I say!!!

Cheers Steve shame he can't make it another to the would like to have been there but can't make it due to other commitments is Tim Hunt, which is a shame.

Waiting for Gav to send confirmation on others if any as well Think a few will be there but not replied which is a shame as can't give a definate list which will put a few people off Might also have been a good idea to write next to them what years they were in the team. Never mind most people remember names don't they?

Many thanks TMC his name has come up several times with riders from his era wondering if he'll be there. Honey name added to list thanks for replying.

Cheers Honey can you get him to contact either me or Gav a.s.a.p. please have sent him an email but it was returned not sure if I have the right address for him. So Mr Hone can I add you to my attendance list then?

TT have you contacted Steve Gibson?

Nice one, Spoke to Dave Mullett he's received his letter and I'm in the process of bullying him in replying a.s.a.p. (He loves it bless him ) also one of our more famous mascots has been asked to attend, wonder if he'll walk out holding Barneys hand for old times sakes Right confirmations already received, not as many as I would of liked so far but plenty promising to be there once there letters have been received Peter Mittell Barry Crowson Russ Osbourne Dick Searle Dave Mullett Mark Martin Laurie Etheridge Kevin Howland Steve Hone Steve Gibson ...................................... Uncle Ted, Barney & Les they best reply soon or else

George get off your Dads PC he'll go nuts Good Luck for the season and hopefully catch up with you at Iwade/Sittingbourne sometime

Didn't answer the age one either Kev ;-) But then you should NEVER ask a lady her age.!!

For those wondering Addy helped me sort a ticket out off of Phil to sit with the Forum gang. Thanks again Addy x

They certainly did either side of me

If it's wet then we will postpone for another time, yet it WILL be DRY & SUNNY or else!

Next week !!!!! Nothing like cutting it fine is there

Our (TT & I) list is getting bigger and bigger. Spoke to a former Number 1 last night (bless him ) hopefully he too will attend. The response from the riders has been fantastic and emails coming from fans as well all interested in meet.

Loved it as usual, John Louis and Barry Crowson pieces .......... excellent!

Much better, how dare they think we follow their lead (so to speak) even if it is true

Our meet is nowhere near as big as the one you are arranging Paul there is now way I can even begin to think how you are coping!

Oh m8 am getting well excited, have spoken to a few of the lads and emails from a few and it's coming together nicely now Kev can we expect you to be there? There are loads more to try and contact, the day just isn't long enough. Should be a good day !!!

We are hoping to get a few of the lads back together for a day out at Iwade/Sittingbourne April 24th so if you are an ex-Crusader or know contact details of any and would like to meet up with a few old friends, please contact either myself or Tom Thumb so that we can arrange for tickets etc to be sent to you. Paul Woods who rode for Canterbury way back then confessed at the VSRA that he wouldn't mind "Having a Go" again so hopefully his wish can be fulfilled on this day. If anyone else would like to take part please please let's make this day a success for us all.

White City was the place where I first got caught smoking! As the camera turned round to captivate the crowd there was I puffing away with a mate totally forgetting that my Mum was at home watching not just a glimpse of us but a nice lingering shot

I remember Auntie Una saying about Zenon Plech washing his leathers in her washing machine, he couldn't understand why the machine was jumping all over the kitchen and then wondered why his leathers never fitted after the final spin bless him!

Mark is too nice to dislike anyone! If you ever get a chance to speak to his "Closest" friends ask them what they think just remember to cover your ears hey Tabby
