VSRA
Museum
Posted 02/04/05
We have received the following from the VSRA
with regards to a proposed Speedway Museum. They have asked if we
would publish this on the site and we are happy to do so.
Please note this article is written by the VSRA and
all queries regarding it should be addressed to them on the address
quoted in the article.
"The VSRA (Veteran Speedway
Riders Association) has been given the opportunity to create a Speedway
Museum in the grounds of the Paradise Wildlife Park, Broxbourne in
Hertfordshire; about 15 mins drive from Rye House Speedway.
The owner of the wildlife park, ex
rider Peter Sampson, has made the required space available, it will
require a great deal of funds and work to put up the buildings to
house the collection. We have sponsors for about £25,000 but
we will need something nearing twice that amount, so we are looking
for donations and fund raising and when the time comes to start on
the work we will be looking for volunteer workers for bricklaying,
woodworking, plumbing etc.
If anyone can possibly help with
donations, cheques can be made out to the VSRA and sent to the secretary
Vic White, 90 Ruskin Avenue, Long Eaton, Notts. NG10 3HX. All donations
will be acknowledged by post. Please make offers of physical help
to the same address.
A book containing all the names of
people who help will be on show at the Museum. Those who have bought
the Once a Jolly Swagman video or DVD from me may be interested to
know that £5.00 from each purchase will be donated to the fund.
For any more info you can contact
George Barclay, Tel 020 8592 3361 or myself at Vikingukvideo@aol.com
Should our Quest fail all donations
will be returned to source."
