Those were the days...a proper club.
... I think that photo was the winning team one year of the regular "Inter club" championships we used to run with Batley, Harrogate, York and Halifax clubs.. Aire Valley always won of course.!
The club started as Horsforth Buggy Club with about 10 members. Ran at Lee lane School...We moved to Yarnbury Rugby Club and initially ran on the field before building a permanent grass track there. Moved to Apperley Bridge late 80's with the intention of building a permanent dirt track but, for a couple of years ran on grass behind the sports building. Eventually the dirt track was built by digging out and sculpturing the soil. Concrete corners were built ( by Graham Gill) and the edges lined with white pvc...the soil was oiled initially to bind the soil but I don't think it was done again...too messy.!
We had some great meetings, regionals, Nationals, and of course the two Reedy meetings '92 and '94... We were only supposed to have the first one as compensation for not getting the '93 Worlds, but Mike Reedy enjoyed it so much he asked to come back in '94.....
Sadly, the hard working committee faded and left and the club died..
be warned.!
Some of us are still about, Chimmy was at Batley on Sunday and Colin Gill is a regular.
I have some photos of the Reedy races, usually with me at Batley..
