WiSH relies on volunteers to make events and projects happen. If they hadn’t offered their time, none of the plans would have seen the light of day. From Tours to the Museum, events held on the Common, statue unveilings, to dinners like the Batsford reunion at the start of this year.
WiSH is more than just football though. The history of what was on the Plough Lane site that we now play at is vast with many stories to tell. We have already honoured the Greyhound history, and very soon Speedway will have its unique event that will mark what a huge attraction that was for so many people.
Beyond this Wimbledon Stadium hosted much more making it a truly multi-sport arena. We aim to preserve the heritage of sports that took place here and in the wider Borough. Think of all the many different sports played at the old stadium.
- Paddle tennis
- Boxing
- Formula Stockcars
- Banger Racing
- other sports across the wider area
WiSH is very keen to hear from individuals and people who have an interest in these different sports (and more) within the Borough, that may be interested in getting involved with WiSH. Whether that be to give some of their time, knowledge or items of interest associated with these sports. If this is of interest please contact Jon Stevens at thedonsden@hotmail.com and we can discuss further.
