Badges

Granddad is also Collecting all the badges from the tracks to make a special gift for Elliot which is proving a little difficult because a lot of the speedways don't exist anymore or only existed for a short time for instance one of the badges only dates 1948 to 1952 The Fleetwood Flyers (very rare)! Currently he has 35 of the badges (he is now an expert)

More Speedways

Next weekend the plan is to tick off another 7 around Birmingham and Coventry and on the 7th June he has a trip upto Scotland with his friend Kev (hope the weather is good for them).

Up Close

This Monday the 12th we have been inspired by the challenge to actually go and watch a speedway race at Belle Vue in Manchester, we are watching Belle Vue Aces VS Kings Lynn Stars quite excited to watch one I have never seen any kind of race other then on the TV, Elliot is being babysat by his Uncle Jon and Lovely Laura so I wish them luck.

  2. The weather wasn't good Toni, it was a rain storm of biblical proportions. Kev & I still got another 9 ticked off the list. Thanks Bev for letting Kev go missing for the weekend.

  3. It's the very least we can do. It's an honour and a pleasure to be stood side by side with you all.
