On Friday a number of members of the Monarchs Fans Trust made the first presentation of a cheque to the club, this was for £1,000. Brian Gray and Ed the Monarch (a fully signed up Trust member) accepted this on behalf of the club and thanked us for our efforts. This money is earmarked to pay for the ambulance on Friday nights and other medical costs, the Trust are delighted to be able to start making a difference now and thank our members for enabling this to happen. This will be the first of the regular payments the Trust will be making throughout the season as the fund is used to stabilise the finances of the Monarchs. The aim of the Trust is to secure the long term future of the club, there is a long hard task ahead but is one we have started on very well.
Whilst on the centre green Trust members were treated to two fantastic heats of speedway, firstly Craig Cook had to work really hard to get the better of Nick Morris to join Justin Sedgmen for a big 5-1 and then Sam Masters brought the house down with a last gasp burst to win heat 7 and prevent a Glasgow 8-1.
All part of a thoroughly great night of speedway and a great example of the fantastic job Edinburgh Speedway do in difficult conditions.
The Trust hopes to ensure that we have nights like this for a long time to come, if you would like to be part of this then please visit our JOIN US page and sign up today.
