Colin Sanders, a leading Romford rider in the 1970s, was brought back from the USA about 18 months ago after suffering a massive stroke. Does anyone have an update on his welfare?

Forwarded messages: ::::: stattointhailand: I'm going crazy here but I remember reading back when Romford Speedway started at Brooklands, there was a meeting or meetings (open I assume) at the Romford Dog Track WW2 era. Were 1938 meetings at Dagenham because dog track not good enough for league fixtures== Sent Oct 16, 2016 at 11:24am ::::: stattointhailand: Thanks for the links to 1938 Dirt track league, but it still doesn't mention if any "trial" meeting or meetings were held at the dog track prior to them riding their league matches at Dagenham. Any ref in "Brooklands Story"? had to sell mine b4 emigrating==Sent Oct 23, 2016 at 5:27am
