PROJECT PROGRESS Of
the first nineteen donations from WSRA members where the amount pledged totaled
£1990 actual sum received was £3280. A very encouraging start.
Mr. Tony Mole has been an inspiration indeed. BSPA office, a many
tracks too have been very helpful and interested in our progress. It
would be of great
help if any supporter’s clubs could arrange with their
promoters to take a collection(s) at a meeting at their home track and
add a mention in their Fanzine. I
thank all of you for your interest in this venture, and assure you that
should we fail to meet our target all monies will be returned to source.
For further information contact George Barclay on 020 8592 3361. Below
some dates that may interest the interested. Saturday

We
are setting up a stall at the London City Airport open day in
conjunction with Terry Stone and the Men in Black road show.
An annual event, it has had Spitfire, Corsair, among the warbirds
doing their displays plus quite the most skilful aerobatic aircraft
performances one could hope to see over East London. An array of
attractions and food stalls with fairground rides for the kids and all
for free admission. Starts

opportunity to talk to visitors about their local Speedway tracks. George Barclay |
