We have been advised that STAN BRADBURY was taken ill on Saturday night prior to his evening engagement.
Stan was admitted to hospital and is undergoing some test to find out what is going on?
Stan has been feeling a little under the weather for a few weeks.
We will have an update of the hospital location and more information to post here on Monday.
We send Stan all our very best wishes!
Our 2008 Awards night was celebrated in Hamilton, Ontario. The location of the 447 Wing at Hamilton Airport was a great location, and the attendees all received a great meal by Timothy's Catering from Caledonia!
Graham Wale put together a superbly organized event, which ran like clockwork.
The night was poised to be a special one, and with the added guest list of over 50 people, the night began with a special welcome to the UK's speedway racer, Mr. James (Birko) Birkinshaw. He joined Kyle Legault in making the opening speeches of the night, and really set a great stage for the rest of the evenings proceedings!
All but 2 of the evenings awards recipients were in attendance to collect their well-deserved awards, in recognition of the 2008 Canadian Speedway racing season.
MC for the night David Hensby gave a light-hearted approach to the awards ceremony and together with Graham Wale, they produced an efficient process for the success of the proceedings.
