As you all know, the Old School gate in the North Region is the biggest in the country, and just keeps getting bigger. In recognition of this I have proposed to our club Chairman, Ian Brookes, that we showcase the class at the next regional in 3 weeks time. As you all know, Preston Pirates love

a bit of OS action, so we're going to push the boat out and try and get as many bums on seats as possible. So far, what we're thinking of is-
-Trophies; the club recently inherited Andy Oldham's trophies from the early eighties- chuffing great big U.S ones (just ask Dubber and Bof how cool these are!, real memorabilia.), We'll be offering these down to 8th place in the A-final.
-Cash prizes. Yes, racing for a purse.....bring your A-game. So far I'll guarantee £100 split between the top 3 riders (£50, £30, £20?), but with club backing and sponsorship I think this will increase....
-An Old School enclosure, a fenced off area amongst the spectators, just for OS 'teams', where we'd love to see an OS bike display with prizes for Best in Show and Best Racebike.

Like most things, it's what you make of it. I've had a word with Dubber and Moley, and they're willing to help out and field any suggestions. If somebody would like to make a poster for it that we can stick on this site and Talk, that'd be just ticketyboo. The more riders we get from around the country the better, but please dont let them take all the prize money home....

Dave, I'm no fan, but seeing as it's a Burner Legend (apparently!)who's trophies we are giving away, I think you're the man for the job! How about we get another local Burner legend, Andy Lennon, to hand out the silverware...
