CHRIS JOINS MIDDLO AND WATTY AT DARCY-DO

A third celebrity has been confirmed for the "Open Mouth" evening on Wednesday 10th February, with 2012 World Champion Chris Holder joining the panel of 'guests'.

Chris will be on hand along with Neil Middleditch and Dave Watt for the event, organised by the Riders' Equipment Fund to raise funds for the Darcy Ward Foundation.

The evening's host, Nigel Leahy has also confirmed that during the evening a live phone-link will be established with Darcy himself to reveal the absolute latest on the progress being made by the injured superstar.

Furthermore, throughout the event, which is being held in the main Grandstand at Poole Stadium there will be an opportunity for fans to have the photograph taken whilst they sit astride a Darcy Ward bike.

"The event is very much a 'must-attend' for all speedway fans, for besides the fascinating insights we hope to gain from the guests we will also be hosting an auction for a range of items including signed race jackets from the Darcy Ward Benefit meeting we staged at Poole last season and also the Mark Loram Farewell Meeting. Add in the chance to purchase official DW43 merchandise and a raffle that will have entry tickets for Poole and the Isle of Wight amongs the top prizes then there is something for everyone."

Doors open at 7pm and entry is £8 with an option to upgrade to £10 to include 2 strips of raffle tickets. All proceeds go to the Darcy Ward Foundation.
