Congratulations to the Salisbury club for holding an exceptional World Event in the Womens' International, Junior and Senoir World Cup. The concenus from the International visitors was that event ran smoothly from the ladies in the canteen to the whole team manning ( wo-manning ) all aspects of the Event. I have been involved  personally in five International Events at the Salisbury Club and the new committee and members should be proud of their efforts in their first International.

DEFERRED SEASON

THE SEASON START HAS BEEN DEFERRED UNTIL SATURDAY THE 7th OF FEBRUARY A smart move by the Club's committee in announcing the deferring of the season start until next week ( 7/02/09 ), this may disappoint some members but commonsense should prevail in this stifling (##**#*#!* ) heat wave.

Track Upgrade Update Update

The latest new from the City of Salisbury Council is that the track upgrade will take place on the 3rd of November, God willing. Other news regarding the track area the Club received conformation of a $2500.00 grant ( Cheque coming ) for the upgrade of the track safety fence. The idea being the the Club members upgrading the fence to a nice cyclone type fence without the old wooden posts.( similar to the type around some schools in the local area ) I forsee a big working bee over the Christmas break. I will let you know about it when I hear it officially

Track Upgrade Update

 God wins first round, The City of Salisbury Council has deferred the track upgrade until early November due to the weather in August. Unlike the Salisbury Jets members who braved the elements to upgrade the track drainage in August, the council have decided that the weather in November will be more suitable. I remember many years ago the club hiring a pump the pump water off the track to hold a race meeting and that was in November.

SAD PASSINGS

 

Sad news ... Colleen Sadler past Salisbury member passed away Friday the 17th of August, for those of us who knew Colleen it was a shock although she was not in good health. The Club's prayers and thoughts are with her daughters Casey and Laura at this time.

Sad news from UK ... Andrew Jackson former Stockport, Chesham, Tameside and Wednesfield rider  passed away Sun 5/8/07. Australian Cycle Speedway Families who knew Andrew from previous tours in Australia and overseas are sadden the hear the news, our thoughts and prayers are with his family and friends through out the world.

 

 

Sad passing of Jeanie Ross mother and wife to  children Darren, Ryan, Lee ,Hailey ,Lenny and husband George suddenly died on Thursday 29th March age 54. Jeanie and George put many hours into the club whilst their children raced. George was a past President of the Salisbury Club and Jeanie Canteen Manageress who worked tirelessly  for the Club .Although many current Salisbury members will not know Jeanie and the Ross family, but my family remembers them well and  with many other past members mourns the loss. The Salisbury club must always remember those who go before us as it is these dedicated people who set the foundation of our club.   The Salisbury Club sends their prayers to George , Darren, Ryan, Lee , Hailey and Lenny at this sad time in their lives.

 

The Club mourns with the passing away of our dear friend and Patron Milton Anderson (28th October 1936 - 30th March 2006), Milton was more than a Patron he was past President, Vice president, Treasurer ,Track Manager, Team Manager and mentor to the Club. He set the foundation for the club to develop and to have direction that was his aim from the first day he joined the Salisbury Club in 1987 until he passed away, he will be missed by the Cycle Speedway Family at the Club and around the world.
