Heather12 Posted May 4, 2016 Author Report Share Posted May 4, 2016 The article can't do it justice. It's the most amazing place! I've been 3 times now and each time I see something I hadn't noticed previously. I'm really looking forward to going again in the summer 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TonyMac Posted May 4, 2016 Report Share Posted May 4, 2016 The article can't do it justice. No article could! Agree, Ian Paterson's unrivalled collection is absolutely brilliant and we'd strongly urge every speedway fan to try and visit. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heather12 Posted October 25, 2016 Author Report Share Posted October 25, 2016 The final opening date this year for the fabulous Cinder to Shale speedway collection is Sunday 6th November. Well worth the visit, it's got to be seen to be believed! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heather12 Posted October 29, 2016 Author Report Share Posted October 29, 2016 I'm not certain to be honest. I know that last time I was talking to Ian about it he said that it was barely worth his while opening it as so few people went on the day. If people are genuinely interested he will open it on other days by arrangement. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heather12 Posted November 5, 2016 Author Report Share Posted November 5, 2016 I was led to believe that this year will be the last that it is being open to the public.Is this true? Ian is going to open by appointment in the future. On one of his open days he only received a couple of visitors and it's not worth spending the time to open it. The opening times were 10-4pm and he would get visitors that would arrive at about 3.30pm and then still be there at 5,30pm which made it a long day for him.. He feels that if he opens by appointment in the future then he will not be wasting his time and visitors can have a quality visit. Visitors are very welcome and appointments can be made by telephone. This will enable him to manage the openings better. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was speaking to Ian on Tuesday and he was quite adamant that there would be no reprints. I have my copy! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
