World Champion “Sudden” Sam Ermolenko Books In More Berwick Appearances.
Former Speedway World Champion, Californian “Sudden” Sam Ermolenko will be back in Berwick to co-host the ambitious speedway club’s pre-season celebrations along side centre-green presenter, the experienced Dick Barrie.
Such was the impression that Berwick Speedway and its supporters made on the former World number one at the recent fund-raising forum and DVD evening that he has already booked his tickets for the Pre-Season Bash – Berwick Speedway’s Spectacular at Berwick Holiday Centre on Saturday 6th March from 7.00pm ‘till late.
He will also be taking a roving microphone to help co-host the extravaganza to make the start of the Bandits’ 2010 season a very special one indeed.
Ermolenko has been in regular contact with John Anderson and Julie Newton of the club and he expressed his eagerness in wanting to attend our now Annual Big Party such was the friendships that were made at the previous event.
Since the word got out that there’s a chance to perhaps have the opportunity of a Gay Gordon’s or a jive with the former World Champ, ticket sales have accelerated at a stunning rate and the club have issued a warning to those who have yet to purchase theirs….. book your tickets at the earliest opportunity – Do not wait as you may miss out on the best party in Berwick for decades!
The tickets costing £10 per head for a night that includes a sumptuous buffet, with top entertainment provided by legendary Alexander Brothers, top rock band Roadhouse, with Jimmy Wilson providing a ceilidh and comedy from Bobby Colgan and are available now from:-
Anderson’s Quality Butchers (North Berwick & East Linton)
Cornhill Village Shop
Taffy’s Time Machine, Marygate, Berwick
Mitchell’s Newsagents, Chirnside
Alternatively fans may reserve tickets via email to
club@berwickspeedway.co.uk
Sam was also quick to take up the option of the special accommodation deal in conjunction with The Holiday Centre itself and for £50 you can secure a 6 berth caravan for the 6th March, inclusive of lighting, heating and linen.
That is £50 total and not per person and again to avoid disappointment those wanting to book should contact Sandra or Tanya on 01289-307-598.
PLEASE NOTE: ALL bookings to be made by the 1st March 2010.
In addition to Ermolenko’s trip to Berwick on the 6th March he has also agreed to return once more and take part in Michal Makovský’s Testimonial Meeting on Saturday 27th March – again starting at 7.00pm.
The charismatic American has agreed to do some demonstration laps and the sight of this legend taking to the Shielfield track once more is sure to provide a great deal of interest in addition to the competitive field assembled for the main meeting.
Ermolenko is also a former Bordernapolis champion and has expressed a liking for Shielfield in the past, and cannot wait to tackle Ian Rae’s new smooth Tweedside raceway.
