Night schools at Weymouth.

A new era of training schools is about to begin at Weymouth again after the club's chairman Brian White got the go-ahead from the SCB. From Friday, November 7, the Wessex Stadium will once more be a regular venue for up-and-coming youngsters and other riders of all ages to try their hand at speedway.

The Wildcats chief has come to an agreement with Weymouth Football Club, within whose grounds the track is situated, to run training schools on Fridays from 6 pm to 10 pm. It is a forward-thinking move White has been able to introduce because the Weymouth operation is being run on an open licence.

White said: "People who want to attend the training school should just turn up on the night and we will go from there. "There is no hire equipment so riders will have to bring their own bikes and other equipment. But I know the interest is out there because so many people have been in touch with me already and are keen to come to Weymouth."

"I don't know how many will turn up a week on Friday but I would hope to get about 20 riders here to the first one. If anyone is interested in the training school, they can contact me on 07793-838787."

"I met with the football club and have come to an agreement with them. They know what has gone in to get our track up and running and they are very keen to see us make use of it as long as we can cover the cost of expenses, such as the floodlights, involved in running the school each week."

"We are keen to foster a good relationship with the football club and this is another example of the two clubs helping each other out to mutual benefit."
