    Great photo Lynn! The only face and name that I remember is Mr White, I found him a strange bloke. In 1951 I was only 7 years old and these kids look older and that's why I wouldn't remember them. Dave Rock was in my class.

    48th Anniversary of The Beatles playing in Kings Heath.

    I was a Beatles fan from day one but by the time they got round to visiting Brum they were too popular for my liking, all those screaming girls, I wouldn't go to see them not even go into the street as they passed by. Went to the Piccadilly to see 'Hard Day's Night', what a mistake that was as...

    Fred, I think Tommy will be doing the honours at the track events, I've been invited to the road race events on The Mall, but we're hoping to see each other in London.

    I've put this link under my name because as many of you will know Tommy Godwin of 10 Silver Street, Kings Heath, was, in the 60,s, my cycle builder & supplier. His daughter, Kay, posted me this link today. Here you can see and hear this Brummie legend & ex BSA worker who will be carrying the...

    Brick paved street

    Since the beginning of time the Dutch people have used baked red clay bricks to pave their streets, and they're very nice too.

    Fleur-de-Lys pies

    And what's wrong with horse meat? Here every butcher's and super market sells it, much better than beef or pork.

    Proud of my daughter.

    Congratulations Bazz! It's so nice to hear about kids with 'drive' especially when it's kids of forum members.

    Mike Guest

    After a bad week and even though the sun is beckoning me outside I thought I'd drop in on the forum to see what's up only to be met, like all you others, with such sad news. Unfotunately I've only been to one forum meeting and I can't remember if I've actually met Mike but for many years I've...

    Sorry John but I never fancied grass track racing, hard track at Salford Park and road racing was hard enough let alone ploughing through some field!

    My cycle builder the now 90 year old Tommy Godwin from Silver Street, Kings Heath, Birmingham, has this week been given an Honorary Degree from Loughborough University. Though not strictly a born and bread Brummie, born in Connecticut USA, Tommy is still very proud of our city. He now lives in...

    John, once again I must say I'm sorry but that is another name that doesn't ring any bells but then I never was good in remembering names or faces, there were too many I guess. A few years ago I did a write up on my 1963 win in in their mountain TT for the excelent Beacon RCC web site. On this...

    Some very nice photos! Fancy a real treat from my collection? Rare IOM photo in colour with Tom Simpson in the centre; mid 60s.

    Thanks again John though the name doesn't ring any bells I'll have to take a look at some of my old result sheets. I've been to the IOM twice on school trips, 1955 & 56, but only raced there once and that was in 1968 as a professional with the French Mercier team, Graham.
