Above is the front of the Kings Oak Hotel behind which is the site of the original track on which the first meeting took place. The photo was taken late in the afternoon and as you can see the outside stalls are being packed up for another year.
Loads of
bikes to look at, admire, lust after, and chat about,

So
much memorabilia was on offer both for sale and to be viewed that some of

Gazette, Speedway Star, Speedway Pix, Speedway Argus, The Broadsider,
Speedway Reporter
and the Speedway Post, along with
