New Memories Of Wimbledon Dvd

WIMBLEDON SPEEDWAY MEMORIES

 

SPEEDWAY fans who used to get their weekly ‘fix’ at Wimbledon Stadium will be interested to know that a new DVD called Wimbledon Speedway Memories is due to be released this spring/summer.

 

Retro Speedway, who are producing the DVD, have tracked down numerous former Dons stars for a series of nostalgic interviews and anecdotes that will recall the halcyon days of favourites such as Ronnie Moore, Barry Briggs, Ron How, Trevor Hedge, Tommy Jansson, Larry Ross, Roger Johns and Malcolm Simmons, Dave Jessup, etc.

 

But the publishers are still keen to obtain cine or VHS film taken of speedway racing at Plough Lane which could be converted for use on their DVD.

 

Retro Speedway’s Tony McDonald says: “Action footage taken at Wimbledon in the 60s and 70s is quite rare, so we’d love to hear from anyone who may have used an old 8mm cine camera to film the racing there – even very brief clips. We would obviously get their film converted to DVD format and return their original reels along with a complimentary copy of our forthcoming DVD.

 

“We’re also interested in any unusual items of Wimbledon memorabilia – anything interesting beyond standard things such as badges, programmes, books and stickers, which we already have.

 

“The DVD will span all eras, so for anyone who attended Wimbledon Speedway from the Dons’ earliest days right up to their closure in 2005, it will evoke fond memories.”

 

Anyone who can help with footage or memorabilia should phone Retro Speedway on 01708 734 502 or email editorial@retro-speedway.com
