Peter Eccelstone recalls: I rode in that International, and as I recall Chum ended up top points from Peter Collins of England.
The event was not apart of the England verses Australia Test series.
After the event I recall the riders all swapped jackets.
I ended up with Chris Pusey's and still have that jacket today.
