KevH Posted November 29, 2006 Report Share Posted November 29, 2006 Spring is still the target for opening. How nice it would be if the grand opening was on the same day as High Beech - a good day out, and I'm sure both venues would benefit.

norbold Posted November 29, 2006 Author Report Share Posted November 29, 2006 Nice idea but the Museum won't be ready by then. High Beech is being organised this year (and for the next five years) as a fund raiser for the Museum. Come and see me on the Museum stand and hand over large wads of dosh. Thank you.

norbold Posted January 10, 2007 Author Report Share Posted January 10, 2007 Latest news: The building is now more or less finished - the doors were fitted yesterday - and work has started on the interior, decorating, fitting the electrics, building the display stands etc. It is hoped that the Museum will be open at the end of April.

TonyMac Posted January 11, 2007 Report Share Posted January 11, 2007 Terry Stone continues to gather in items of memorabilia that people are kindly donating to the museum. At this week's committee meeting, he had an old Canterbury racejacket worn by the late Msrtyn Piddock, plus shields donated by Canterbury Speedway S.C. Even the Scots are giving things away in support of the museum! Former Glasgow boss Jim Beaton has given Terry several trophies that were won, or competed for, by the Tigers. If anyone has anything else worthwhile, that is currently gathering dust, pse get in touch with the appropriate Speedway Museum committee members, who can be reached as follows: Funding – Linda & George Barclay: 020 8592 3361 Email: g.barclay@hotmail.co.uk Interior and Exhibits – Patrick Bowens: 020 8398 1253 or Terry Stone: 01702 554358 Email: patrick.bowens@ntlworld.com Archives – Steve Lings: 01992 440 343 Email: slings@pwpark.com Publicity – Tony McDonald: 01708 734 502 Email: editorial@retro-speedway.com And not forgetting Norman (Norbold), who you all know how to contact on this forum!
