sharkyone Posted May 29, 2007 Report Share Posted May 29, 2007 The museum is open 9.30-5.30/6 7 days a week March to October after that time not quite sure. As for the admission if someone had enough money the museum could have got there own land and then charged what they wanted. We must be greatful to Pete Sampson for letting the museum have the land otherwise this museum would never had happened. Please also remeber that the museum is a charity so when you have looked round any change you have in your pocket put it in the pot on the counter.

Hopefully the museum will generate alot of money during the GP period as i'm sure many wil have the same idea. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I went with my son a couple of weeks ago and got there around 4pm on a Saturday - we got a late entrance fee price of £7 each for the museum and the wildlife park - great way to spend a couple of hours before popping into Hoddesdon for a chinese and then onto Rye House - great day/evening out. We are Reading fans based in Woking and will be doing the same trip again very soon - my older son was really miffed as he wasn't able to make it!! And can I say what great memories the museum brought back I could have wallowed in there all day! Well done to all concerned - great job!!

marron Posted July 3, 2007 Report Share Posted July 3, 2007 (edited) I went on Monday and some of the stuff there is brill. Espescially the Crump, Lindback and Adams bikes. Also, we had a nice chat with George which was good and some of the stories he had were very interesting. He has loads of knowledge and seemed to know everything about the sport.

mbbunyan Posted July 11, 2007 Report Share Posted July 11, 2007 I visited the museum the other week on a cheaper late entry ticket and really enjoyed it and had an interesting chat with George. I recommend all fans to pay them a visit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BobC Posted July 15, 2007 Report Share Posted July 15, 2007 Well,we enjoyed a visit to the museum on Saturday,on the way up to Rye House. We were greeted by Tetley,and introduced to Manager Debbie.Thank you for your hospitality. A great buzz about the place.Plenty to see,and had to walk round many times to take it in.The park itself is an amazing place,if you have kids,allow all day! Many thanks guys for the afternoon of fun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
norbold Posted July 15, 2007 Report Share Posted July 15, 2007 I'm glad you enjoyed your visit, Bob. But your posting reminds me that I think I should say that George will no longer be at the Museum. As we know George and Linda have put in a tremendous amount of work to get the museum up and running over the last couple of years and have now decided to take a bit of a rest from the day to day running. I think we all owe them a big debt of gratitude for putting their life on hold and creating the Museum speedway supporters have been wanting for years. As Bob says there is a new manager there now, Debbie, who those of you involved at Sittingbourne will probably know. We shall be having a Committee meeting Tuesday week to resolve a few issues about how the museum will be run from now on. No dramatic changes, but we have relied an awful lot on George and Linda, so it's time to take a new look at its running and organisation. I'll let you know what's decided.

BobC Posted July 15, 2007 Report Share Posted July 15, 2007 I did have a brief chat to George and Linda at Rye.I agree,we do owe them a huge thank you. Shame they are not involved as much as before,as their enthusiasm to get everything up and running was paramount.I do recognise that it wasnt soley down to them,but the driving force,they most certainly were. Thank you,George and Linda. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Liz !!! Posted July 15, 2007 Report Share Posted July 15, 2007 With regards to the late admission ticket, having already visited Paradise Park in the past can anyone tell me about the time this ticket applies as I am going to be in the area soon and would like to visit the museum without spending a huge amount of time in the park Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
norbold Posted July 15, 2007 Report Share Posted July 15, 2007 I don't know about that. Try contacting the park: here Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noodles Posted July 17, 2007 Report Share Posted July 17, 2007 I went on Saturday and the museum is excellent. Well done to all those involved. It really is a must for Speedway fans - make a day of it and stroll round the Park aswell Very enjoyable day and I will be returning!

norbold Posted July 24, 2007 Report Share Posted July 24, 2007 We shall be having a Committee meeting Tuesday week to resolve a few issues about how the museum will be run from now on. Well, we've had our committee meeting and sorted out a few things. We now have a good committee of active members each of whom are prepared to do their bit for the Museum. Hopefully no-one from now on will be overloaded and each person allocated particular areas of responsibility will have some expertise in that area. We are hoping to get more riders and former riders actively involved as well. Hopefully I can let you have some names after our next committee meeting in August after the riders in question have agreed (!) As well as sorting out a number of the administration requirements, there are a number of public interface areas we are hoping to address soon: 1. The display itself and the labelling. We are hoping to make it a bit clearer and to get a more uniform style of labelling and correct the mistakes ( ). 2. Making sure the web site is kept up to date with the latest news. 3. Start cataloguing what we've got properly so the material can be used as a resource for historians and anyone else wishing to find out about some aspect of speedway history. There is a lot of material kept in store and not on display at the moment. 4. Produce a small guide to the Museum with a short history of speedway, mainly for visitors who don't know much about the sport. I shall, of course, keep everyone informed of progress. In the meantime, please go along and visit the Museum, I'm sure you will all find it of great interest and a worthwhile way to spend an hour or so.

speedyguy Posted August 9, 2007 Report Share Posted August 9, 2007 Is there a route by public transport, starting by rail from Liverpool Street? http://sports.groups.yahoo.com/group/oldtimespeedway Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
norbold Posted August 9, 2007 Report Share Posted August 9, 2007 (edited) Yes, train to Broxbourne where you can pick up the Paradise Park courtesy bus. P.S. If the bus isn't waiting at the station ask at the ticket office for them to ring the Park up and send the bus.
