Local 'Bobby' sent back to school as part of a Police Experiment. P.C. Lyons went back to school in September 1979. He was selected for the assignment because of his ability to communicate well with youngsters, for his association with the school when he was on neighbourhood beat patrol, and for his interest in community welfare which he demonstrated by raising several thousand pounds for the purchase of guide dogs for the blind. He was also one of the managers for the youth club.The enterprising attempt by Hampshire Police to bridge the generation gap at Oak Park by giving pupils their own school bobby was based on earlier trials held in other parts of the country. Suggested by former councillor and magistrate Mrs Betty Bell the scheme was given the backing and was to be reviewed after 12 months. |

SHAUN HALL
"DANGER ON TWO WHEELS"
THERE ARE MANY SPORTS IN WHICH A YOUNGSTER CAN PARTICIPATE, HOWEVER I DOUBT IF THERE IS ONE MORE DANGEROUS AND EXCITING THAN CYCLE SPEEDWAY. THIS IS OPERATED ALONG THE LINES OF MOTOR CYCLE SPEEDWAY, WITH ALL FOUR RIDERS IN EACH HEAT AND ALL THE BUMPING AND SLIDING OF THE PARENT SPORT. THE MAIN DIFFERENCES ARE THAT THE TRACKS ARE SHORTER AND THE SPORT IS SILENT SAVE FOR THE GRUNTS, GROANS AND THE OCCASIONAL MY GOODNESS!,FROM COMPETITORS. SHAUN HALL, (14), FROM HAVANT, HAD BEEN INVOLVED IN THE SPORT FOR TWO AND A HALF YEARS.HE RACED FOR THE HAVANT HAWKES AS AN INDIVIDUAL.
SHAUN WAS RUNNER UP (AFTER AN INJURY) IN THE BRITISH SCHOOLBOY CHAMPIONSHIPS AND IN HOLLAND HE WON THE HOLLAND AHOY CHAMPIONSHIP.SHAUN HAD A CUSTOM BUILT LIGHTWEIGHT BIKE. SHAUN SAYS THE IDEAL AGE TO START WOULD BE TEN OR ELEVEN. ALL YOU NEED IS A BIKE, TRAINING SHOES, GLOVES AND A THICK PAIR OF GLOVES.ALTHOUGH TOP RIDERS WILL PAY UPTO 275 POUNDS FOR A BIKE IT IS POSSIBLE TO MAKE ONE UP FROM SECOND HAND PARTS FROM ABOUT A 25 POUNDS.
