SRBF chairman, Paul Ackroyd visits NSSC along with Carl Stonehewer and Ricky Ashworth.
On Tuesday July 28th, we welcome back Paul Ackroyd, the driving force behind the Speedway Riders Benevolent Fund, who play such a pivotal role in supporting both current and retired riders needing financial support and help..
This year the
Ben Fund is looking to raise in excess of £130,000. which it will use to support riders currently side-lined through injury as well as retired
riders who will need permanent assistance for the rest of their life.
A significant
proportion of their income comes from the annual Ben Fund meeting, which this year was held at Glasgow and was won by Dan Thompson.
Other revenue
streams include collection and donations when SRBF visits every track throughout the season, along with events like ours, where we would ask that you donate as
much as you possibly can towards such a worthy cause.
Skinflint Rally
To raise funds
for the Ben Fund in 2026, Workington Comets and Belle Vue Aces legend Carl Stonehewer, is participating in the Skinflint Rally an endurance driving event, which starts
in Calais and ends in Nice, France, three days later. having taken in Turin, Italy in between.Participants must use a car purchased for less than
£500..
Carl will be
teaming up with his former mechanic and friend, Nick Sharples.with all proceeds to be donated to the Ben Fund...
Ricky Ashworth
We are delighted
to welcome back Ricky Ashworth, who many will recall made such an emotional impact on his previous visit causing a standing ovation from the audience when he was forced to curtail his visit midway through the evening.
Ricky has been
receiving constant help from SFBF ever since his life threatening crash at Scunthorpe in August 2013, where he was left in a coma for 91 days and from which he sustained a serious brain injury.
As always, our guest evenings are relaxed, informal, and offer the opportunity for supporters to ask questions and hear first-hand stories from the heart of British
Speedway.
We look forward to seeing as many of you there as possible for what is sure to be an entertaining and informative night.
