ANNUAL REPORT OF TRUSTEES OFTHE WORLD SPEEDWAY RIDERS
ASSOCIATION FOR 2023
We arranged more events than usual during 2023, thus enabling us to bring
together more former riders and fans of Speedway, helping them to relive
their past glories and memories in an amiable atmosphere.
For example 60 people gathered at High Beech, the site of the first Speedway
meeting in 1928 and were enthralled by a talk on the history of Speedwav.
The annual Celebration of Speedway attracted 700 visitors and we also put on
a day devoted to one of the old great clubs, Hackney. These events inform the
wider public about the history of Speedway and take place next to the
Speedway museum.
We gave more grants than before and continue to make monetary gifts to
disabled members. We also facilitate their attendance at our events, where
necessary. In effect we used some of the surplus from the previous year on
these worthy causes and we expect to continue in this vein
Expenses were kept under control and relate mainly to printing and postage of
the quarterly magazine, the website, museum maintenance and rent.
We ended the year with a bank balance of £47,000 which we regard as more
than sufficient to see us through a 12 month period even if income were to be
dramatically reduced.
