‘Wolverhampton? Aldridge?’ you may cry, ‘but you’ve already done those flags!’ I cannot deny that but there is good reason for having revisited the designs. Over time my knowledge of the heraldic arts has grown and matured, and whilst I remain happy with the vast majority of my designs there are some I wish to revisit. Read the rest of this entry »

As you may know, we are big fans of the amazing Beverley Knight.

Wolverhampton’s tartan was a joy to design, indeed it nearly designed itself such is the clarity with which the city can represent itself symbolically and visually. Read the rest of this entry »

During visits back home to the U.K. its catch up time for family and friends, some of whom hadn’t been seen for years (and many I wished had remained so) My Mom was a great giver and inviter of parties and no-one dared refuse. These DO’S were usually held in a little back street working mans club, where my Mom was on the Ladies Committee so everyone had to give in and go. Read the rest of this entry »

15.06 Wolves 55 – 39 Eastbourne

Wolves battled to the end in this thriller of a match. Sqora scored paid 9.

Although the Parrys International Wolves didn’t get off to the best of starts (4 points down after 2 races) Adam Skornicki and Tai Woffinden secured maximum points in heat 3 to bring the scores level, in fact in the three races where Sqora and Tai partner each other they scored 14 as apposed to Eastbournes 4, a great return from this middle order pairing, Adam had problems in heat 14, struggling to pass the Eastbourne duo, he slid off in what looked like a simple fall, a very expensive simple fall, his front wheel and forks were wrote off. For the Wolves the spearhead of PK Peter Karlsson and Fredrik Lindgren was almost unbeatable and man of the match must be Lindgren.
For Eastbourne only Davey Watt, Simon Gustafsson and Lewis Bridger put up any resistance.
Monday 22nd however will be a different contest when the newly modified team of Poole Pirates will be in town
