Chris Louis thanked all the fans, riders and helpers for continuing to give the Witches that special “family-club” feeling. And he looked forward to the Suffolk team racing in the Elite League again in 2010.
He also thanked the supporters' club for not only organising the evening, but being by far the best supporters' club in the country, something acknowledged by most clubs in the sport.
