Now up on the main WEB Site www.exeterfalcons.com/ Peregrinner's report and Slawomir Drozdzalski photos from the evening. For those of you who may ask the Q who is Slawomir Drozdzalski, he's a friend of Gordons and was the track photographer from lodz in poland and has been a supporters member for the last 4 years. Will be looking forward to his photos from the new track when we are up and running Ian

I wrote a few notes about the AGM and subsequent talks that have appeared on the website.
We are checking with Allen what information he wants to release before publishing his part of the evening.
It was great to see Nick Simmons again as those who were there will remember that we tried a series of reserves all of whom scored no points and then arrived 'Fans Hero' Nick Simmons who as I remember tried hard and nearly made it several times and then scored two points rather than one. That is how I remember it anyway, as I have not checked my programs.
James Easter spoke very well and I gained the impression that he has a lot more to say. I think we should get him back again next year.
He told his story about being arrested in Poland, and about buying a passport/visa stamp from a border guard before using it on all the passports to allow them to get from Poland back into Czechoslovakia as it was then.
He mentioned the poverty that there was in Poland back in the bad old days and how they stayed in Poznan rather than where they were racing as they then got at least basic minimum facilities.
There were so many stories, if you can remember any please add them to this thread.
