WEST Midlands based Specialist industrial and commercial roofing company BRC have agreed to be the official meeting sponsor of the Phil Morris Farewell Meeting.

The event will be taking place at Birmingham Speedway’s Perry Barr Stadium on Thursday September 1 (7.30pm).

BRC Roofing have been associated with the Brummies for several seasons and Director Kevin Taylor was impressed with Welshman Morris' commitment and attitude during his spell at the club in 2007 and 2008.

Kevin said: "Phil demonstrated what a great a team man he was when he rode for Birmingham. We are delighted to support his event.”

Morris is very grateful for the backing of his big night. He said "I really appreciate BRC sponsoring the meeting. Everything is shaping up nicely now and this puts the icing on the cake.”

The meeting which will now be known as the ‘BRC Industrial Roofing Phil Morris Farewell’, will feature a number of the world’s leading riders, including Jason Crump, Chris Harris and Tai Woffinden, plus stars from the British Under-16 Championship.

Morris has also revealed there will be a Young Lions challenge between pairings from Birmingham and Stoke. The Brummies will be represented by Jack Hargreaves and Ben Taylor, whilst Tim Webster and Jamie Pickard will be donning the Potters race-jackets in a two heat clash.

Morris added: "All four guys are improving all the time and I've got to know them well over the past year. If they stay dedicated and work hard all four have bright futures in the sport.”
