World champ Edwards roars into... Northallerton!

Reigning World Superbike champion Colin Edwards makes his annual visit to the quaint market town of Northallerton next Tuesday [8 July], to take part in a chat show organised by the North Yorkshire Road Racing Supporters Club at Club Amadeus.

Edwards, known to his legions of fans as 'The Texas Tornado', switched to the Alice Aprilia team and the Moto GP class for 2003 and, prior to heading off to Donington Park for the British Grand Prix, will be meeting and chatting with fans in the Yorkshire town.

Joining Edwards on stage will be Sky Sports motorcycle racing commentator Keith Huewen, himself a former GP racer, and the pair will be taking part in all aspects of the show which will include the informal chat show, an auction as well as a raffle and the ever popular 'Question Time', where fans pose any manner of questions to the stars.

Also taking part in proceedings will be local ace Dennis Hobbs, who is making a name for himself in the British Superbike Championship this season, and Paul Veazey, who will be competing at the Donington GP as a 125cc 'wild card' rider.

Doors open at 7.30pm with the first of the chat shows starting at 8.00pm and admission costs just ?6 for adults with accompanied children ?2. Club Amadeus is located in Elder Road near to the town centre, and further details are available from NYRRSC secretary Sue Symons on 01904 339647.
