This Is Speedway

MATTIA Carpanese is facing a race against time to keep his place in Birmingham’s side.

INJURY-HIT Belle Vue are hoping two ambitious young Aussies will give them a boost at home to Eastbourne in the Elite League tonight (8pm).

COVENTRY’S win at Wolverhampton on Monday completed a perfect Bank Holiday weekend - and leaves the team looking at the next fixtures with renewed optimism.

This is an appeal on behalf of the Medical volunteers who attend Ashfield each week.

The new Speedway rules state that the First Aid Team should consist of a minimum of 7 people including a Medical Officer (namely Paramedic/Doctor) and an Ambulance Driver. So the other 5 are covered by volunteers at Event Medix.

If the full 7 are not available then meetings cannot take place. Therefore, we need more people to come and join us as our volunteer numbers are dropping. All that is required is a valid First Aid Certificate

If you are interested in volunteering or require any further information, please use the contact page above to get in touch.

Thank you.

DREADFUL, dire, dismal and diabolical.
