RECORD PRICE FOR BOOK – posted 6 November 2013

 

The purchaser of a rare copy of 50 Years of Cycle Speedway has paid what is believed to be the highest ever price for a cycle speedway publication.

‘FIFTY YEARS’ BID SOARS – posted 28 October 2013

 

Bids for a rare copy of '50 Years of Cycle Speedway' have soared after we published a story about the sale on our Sales and Wants page.

 

From an initial bid of £9.99, bids have rocketed to over £40 and show no signs of stopping as interest in the book spirals.

 

Recent sales suggest that the successful bidder will have to be prepared to part with the best part of £50 plus postage before they can secure the book which is described as being in excellent condition.

 

'50 Years' was published in 1996 to commemorate cycle speedway’s fiftieth anniversary.  It is believed only a few hundred copies of the ‘short-run’ book was published adding to its scarcity and value.  Considered the definitive book on the sport, cycle speedway’s ‘bible’ is highly prized by owners, so copies rarely come up for sale.

CONTAINER REQUIRED – posted 19 September 2013

 

Gavin Parr has appealed to Spokesman readers to see if they know of any storage containers for sale.

 

“Northumbria Cycle Speedway club are desperate for a 20ft container, preferably in grey but we can paint if needed” said Gavin.

 

“At present we don't have a great deal of funds to pay for one so if any business people could help a club in need please get in touch as soon as possible. We have just spent £21k on the new purpose built track so club funds are a little stretched at present.  We have secured a grant which will bring the club eight new bikes to be used by youth riders but we don't have anywhere to house them” explained Gavin

 

Anyone with any suggestions please get in touch with Gavin as soon as possible by emailing him at
