Bailey's Doncaster 75
Hi Malc,i allways thought Mary Chapman had something to do with the running of this particular event.I remember there was bad floods that weekend and we had trouble getting to it,on arrival they wouldnt let us in,this woman spoke on our behalf and we were allowed in.Didnt fancy a trip back to Derby that night.
