Jo Shoults 20 Jul 2007		Where are You? Hi Robin, thanks for getting in touch, I do have a photo of the team which the landlord of the Kings Head gave me, unfortunately I cannot remember exactly where the track was but it was a short distance from where I lived which is opposite the Kings Head, I was over that way a few weeks back and did not recognise the field where the daft sport of cycle racing with no brakes took place but I will ask my brother he may know althoughit is some50 odd years or more since I last saw it, If you can find some of the named lads they could probably tell you in great detail all about it, all the best Jo

Robin Richardson 19 Jul 2007		Where are You? Jo, Did you have any replies on this subject, please? I have a rather dark copy of a photograph and a copy of a programme from the Udimore cycle speedway if you would like them. Is it still possible to see where the track was, please? Best wishes, Robin Richardson

We are two nice and tidy students from Germany and we urgently need an accomodation at a low price. My fiance is a car mechanic and studies mechanical engineering.

Susan Hampson 4 May 2007		Web Site I didn't know this web site existed until I found it by accident when searching for something else. Perhaps it would be worth mentioning it in "Village Voice"?
