INTERNATIONALS - ITALY

4-Team Matches

1966 18.06 : Cesenatico New Zealand v. England v. Australia v. Scotland
{short description of image} This was one of a series of meetings staged in Italy by English promoter Mike Parker.
Any details at all would be welcomed!
29.11.07 Thanks to Duncan Luke for this information! He writes:
"I have the programme for the event but it is not filled in. As noted this was a Mike Parker promotion. However, the meeting was not a genuine international but rather a low key event featuring only eight riders brought in from the UK to race there and at another nearby track he operated at Rimini. The "International" label looks as if it was a convenient way to help promote the event as most of the riders are (I believe) Englishmen. e.g. Caisley may have been a Scottish junior but I have never heard that Jack Winstanley had any claim to Scottish relatives! The make up of the teams (Pairs would be a better term) was :- England - M. Robinson and P. Sharples. Australia - G. Beattie and A. Paynter. New Zealand - P. Harris and B. Oliver. Scotland - J. Winstanley and M. Caisley"
