Sittingbourne Speedway - I always thought it was Iwade Grass Track?


Not a grass track John, but a speedway track. it has always been Iwade, but a few teams have run there. The first being the Iwade Colts, then for a time Sittingbourne Crusaders and Kent Crusaders, and some amateur teams such as the Dragons.


Pre covid it was back to its original purpose of a training track, and occasional one off meetings; i.e. The Ivor Thomas Memorial Trophy. (The original founder with his brother Barry Thomas, Hackney and England rider.)


Its now known as the Iwade Speedway Club, The Old Gun Site, Old Ferry Road Iwade. You can find some old videos of the track on youtube.

That was quick Grandarog.  I believe the grounds are still open on Open Garden days although some of the property is now luxury apartments.


Over to you.

I think that is great Mayham Hall over  Rolvenden way. :)

Visited years ago 1n the 1970's when our kids were small.Think it was Nat Heretage or  Open Gardens. Had beautiful huge gardens ,apparently the Secret Garden from the book is there but didn't see it. I believe it is all luxury Flats now.
