I think you should stick with what you have John! The article can be read one of two ways - that Val first worked with Skirrow AND went to Rotterdam three years before the article or that he joined Skirrow three years before the article and the Rotterdam event was just at some point after that (which I reckon is the case). Nice to see the event at least referred to in print though and there are several adverts in regional newspapers in 1938 promoting Mackereth as European Champion too.

(Norwood News) WON BY INCHES
Jean Reville (France) won the European open championship at the Crystal Palace midget car speedway on Saturday, but he won only by inches.
