Motor-bike race
Southbridge streets will come alive to the roar of B.S.A.s, Triumphs, Nortons and other machines taking part in a classic motor-cycle race meeting tomorrow. Two riders from England will attend. Arthur Wheeler, who started racing motor-cycles during the 1930 s and is now in his 70s, will be at the meeting, along with John Wittman, who is in his 40s. Hugh Anderson, of Hamilton, a five-times world champion during the 19605, will take part in some races, and give demonstration laps of the track. The meeting will be combined with kart racing on the 2km track which runs through the streets in Southbridge.
