WiSH has a packed summer ahead with many events being attended. Some at the Stadium, others around the borough, the Common is an often-used hub for activities.
Over the last weekend of April and the first one in May, Jon Stevens, our erstwhile Speedway fanatic who is heading up our event at the Stadium here on July 5 (info can be seen on the side of this page), was our man on the ground.
First of all, he took part in the annual Tweed Run London, a 12-mile cycle ride. As you can see above, he was kitted out in full vintage Speedway track Marshall regalia, circa 1940-50s. The trade bicycle featured an advertisement for the FIM Wills Internationale Tournament.
The following weekend saw the We Are Merton Festival. This was held at Morden Park, and celebrated 60 years, and with help from our friends at DLAG, as well as Haydon the Womble, this turned out to be another worthwhile event.
WiSH and TheDonsDen had a stand in the community marquee, talking to residents about what we do and our upcoming community and Speedway events. We met Mayor Slawek Szczepanski and his wife at the event, who were very interested to hear of our speedway event, since he followed speedway since a young boy.
We will have a detailed rundown of all of our events during the summer very soon. Look out for us on all our social media channels to keep up to date.
