No winner for the Harley-boo hoo!!
General News -
By Pitchcare (09 Sep 02 12:22)
The 'guess the number plate' competition was a tremendous success at Saltex. Unfortunately the insurers have now informed us that there was no winner. The 'BJ 52 RAY' plate was not picked by anyone although Jeff Varity from Carshalton, Surrey came closest with five correct digits out of seven. Despite the fact that we have no winner we hope that everybody who took part, enjoyed it, and will be encouraged that we have raised £312 for the childrens Heart-Link charity.
We would like to express our extreme thanks to Thames Valley Harley-Davidson who supplied the demo bike at the show, and would have provided the prize, had we had a winner. - Read Article
