This was a terrific event and much enjoyed by the many people who attended. Many thanks to Rob and Rose Doran and Beth Rowe, who missed out on Cardiff and instead spent all day Saturday setting up the memorabilia display which took up the entire skittles alley. There was an excellent turn out of riders including Vaclav Verner, Richard Green ( who dashed back from his holiday in Corfu to be there), Pat Flanagan, Jack Geran, Peter Jeffrey, Mark Simmonds, Steve Brennan, Mike Bowden, Rob Wilson, Benjii Bealy, and Mattie Bates plus several up and coming local youngsters. A major surprise was the appearance of Mike Farrell who had been with Crumpie at the Millennium Stadium the night before. We were also pleased to welcome Estvan Erban, the owner of the Jawa Company. Thanks must go to Gerald Gibbons, Steve Brennan and Mattie B for bringing their bikes. Steve even went grass tracking around the Twisted Oak orchard.John Burley brought along his collection of County Ground rider pits name boards from 1972-2005. It was a really good occasion. Sorry if I've missed anyone out and yes the BBQ was top notch.
