LATEST NEWS
(Updated 24th March 2005)
Press & Practice Photos Added (24/03/05) A couple of photos from the Mildenhall Press and Practice have been added
(thanks to David Crane) and also a set taken at the ASTRA Grasstrack Club.
Team Place for 2005 (07/03/05) Having missed the whole of the 2004 campaign, Gareth has been looking to get
his
Speedway career back on track (literally!).
So it is pleasing to announce that Gareth has been offered a team spot with
Mildenhall for the forthcoming season.
Due to Gareth's age, he has been saddled with a 3 grade for team building
purposes, so he will not be eligible to ride in one of the reserve berths.
Injured Again! (24/05/04) After a number of second half outings at Sittingbourne and Wimbledon over
the past week, Gareth took to the track at Eastbourne on Saturday night and duly
crashed breaking his shoulder.
A decision is yet to be made whether the shoulder will need an operation, but it
looks like the majority of Gareth's season will be lost. Any further
developments will be posted as soon as possible.
Gareth's Rider Profile has been added (12/02/04)
Fully Fit Again (28/01/04)
It's pleasing to announce that Gareth has fully recovered from the foot injury
suffered at last year's Best Pairs championships at Peasmarsh and is looking
forward to the new season.
The 500cc Antig Jawa that was damaged following the crash is
currently being straightened, but for the 350cc class he will have "something
different" to replace his trusty Godden.
Gareth is also on the look out for continental Grasstrack
bookings for 2004, and will again be part of the Wimbledon GMB Dons Conference
Speedway squad.
