WIGHTLINK ISLANDERS speedway team have seen changes at Board level this week. Current chairman Mike Bellman has retired, and whilst remaining a director for the time being, he has handed over the chairman’s role to co-director Brian Ginders.
The outgoing Chairman said: “I have served on the Board as a director and as chairman for some six years, and having sold my business earlier this year, I felt it was time to take a back seat.
“My involvement started with sponsoring riders like Scott Swain, Danny Bird and Adam Shields, and went on to Craig Boyce and Chris Holder, to name just a few. I’ve loved every minute of it.
“The involvement with the Islanders that I have had and enjoyed so much cannot be described. We’ve had good and bad times, we’ve won some great meetings and we’ve had our down days, but I have met some fantastic people and it’s all been a great experience, over 10 years as a supporter, sponsor, director and finally, chairman.”
He added: “Brian has worked very hard this year since rejoining the Board and we all feel he is the right man for the job, right now. He is both accomplished and successful in business, and has expertise and time to give to the Club, both of which are important attributes.
