Speedway prospect Kyle Bickley will rub shoulders with the sport’s bosses and MPs in Westminster on Wednesday.

Kyle, 14, of Sarsfield Road, has been invited to attend the fourth annual end-of-season reception for the All Party Parliamentary Group for Motorcycle Speedway at the Houses of Parliament as an ambassador by the British Speedway Promoters Association.

Awards are usually presented for achievements in the sport at the event.

The Workington Academy pupil’s dad Tony said it was a privilege which his son was very excited to be a part of.

He added: “There’s never been a young rider invited before and possibly there won’t be again.”
