The Patron of the Supporters Club, and Lord Mayor of Birmingham, Cllr. Randall Brew OBE became guest of honour on Wednesday 2nd April, and presented on behalf of the Cub, a cheque for £2,450 to the Brummies riders. The money itself would be split between the riders with everyone getting £350 each.

Sadly the night was marred by the accident and injuries incurred by Kyle Legault and James Birkinshaw, however the Lord Mayor thorougly enjoyed his visit to the Brummies again, and hopes to come more regularly as a spectator after his year in office finishes.

The Lord Mayor, in honour of his Patronage of the Supporters Club was awarded an honorary lifetime membership of the club, and we look forward to seeing him again soon.

The Committee of the Supporters Club would also like to thank everyone who has taken part in all the events which have been run, which have resulted in this donation being possible. The size of the donation is a true reflection of the generosity of all the Brummies Fans.

The Supporters Club were delighted to welcome Shawn McConnell to the Social Night on Monday 17th March.

Another huge turn out of club members were there to listen to Shawn recounting his first days of racing speedway, back in America, and how it was that he came to be a Brummie. Seems that we owe another old favourite, Keith Chrisco a vote of thanks for that one! Shawn went on to answer questions from the fans about

As announced at the Supporters Club Social Night on Monday 7th January 2008, The Right Worshipful, The Lord Mayor of Birmingham, Councilor Randal Brew OBE has agreed to become Patron of the Birmingham Speedway Supporters Club.

This is a great honour for the Club to have, and it follows a visit to Perry Barr by the Lord Mayor last year, which he and The Lady Mayoress found extremely enjoyable. Together with our invitation for him to become our Patron, the Supporters Club presented the Lord Mayor with a copy of the Club Constitution which detailed the aims and objectives of the Club. In his letter of acceptance, the Lord Mayor said that he would be delighted to accept our request. It is hoped that with the Lord Mayor as Patron of Supporters Club, it will give an extra weight of credibility to the voice of the Speedway Supporters of Birmingham, that the Club represents.

The Committee of the Birmingham Speedway Supporters Club would like to thank one of our members, Frank Whitehouse for his most generous donation to the Club.

Frank (Pictured sitting next to Club Chairman, Brian Bott) has made a cheque for £200 after reading about what the Supporters Club are doing in the Match Day Program Notes. In thanking Frank for his Generosity, Brian Bott promised that the money will be well spent on helping the Brummies riders as best as will be possible. It is hoped that the Clubs aim to provide tyres and fuel for the riders will be greatly assisted with this cash injection, and that the leadership shown by Frank can be followed by other supporters by becoming members of the club and engaging in the Clubs fund raising activities.

Frank has been a long standing supporter of the Brummies, having stood on the terraces in the 1950's. The Brummies returning to their rightful home has rekindled Frank's passion for the sport and his desire for the Brummies to succeed. We wish Frank many a long and happy night at Perry Barr.
