SOUTHAMPTON SPEEDWAY REUNION 1998 (MIS9807)

On a bright and crisp autumn afternoon, The Peninsula Suite at The Sandbanks Hotel in Poole, a mere golf drive away from the family home in Lilliput, was the setting for the Celebration of the Life Of Dave Lanning, an event hosted by his children Alyson, Russell and Phillip. A truly legendary and highly respected figure in the realms of journalism and television, Dave's love of speedway and darts saw the ' Big Man' become the instantly recognisable voice of these sports with his full throttle delivery hitting the target every time. Family, friends, colleagues and sporting personalities joined together to enjoy the warm and humorous tributes bestowed on a man whose life was never dull, ever loquacious and always deeply supportive of the family unit. ReRun Productions were privileged to be invited by the Lanning Family to record this memorable event. Also includes a selection of Dave's inimitable style. Running time 135 mins.

The first of two DVD's capturing bygone times as we take a look back at the speedway stars of yesteryear. This DVD includes interviews, photographs and rare cinefilm of the early days of speedway racing in the South West. Riders featured include Goog Hoskin, Neil Street, Sid Hazzard, Lew Coffin, Len Read, Alf Webster & Jack Geran amoung others. Listen as they recollect their experiences to Speedway Historian Tony Lethbridge and marvel as we take a close look at the machines they rode. Definately a collectors DVD.
