WORLD SPEEDWAY RIDERS’ASSOCIATION ANNUAL REPORT OF TRUSTEES 2025
The trustees hereby submit the accounts for 2025 as part of their annual report to WSRA members.
As a Speedway Charity we believe we have further supported our charitable aims by making grants of £9.0k in support of both young riders and the Speedway Benevolent fund. This included organising a prize draw for young NDL riders which also helped promote the WSRA by being broadcast live on BSN (a Speedway streaming company).
In addition, we were able to contribute £1.0k (Misc) to help the installation of a permanent statue at the old Wimbledon stadium.
During the year, we held our annual events the Celebration of Speedway, Spring Lunch and Gala Awards Dinner. The guest star for the dinner, World Champion Bruce Penhall attracted a record attendance of close to 300 guests which also went out live on BSN streaming. The popularity of our star guest allowed us to add an additional evening event “An Evening With” that was also well attended.
The urgent requirement to replace the heating system (£3.7k) at the National Speedway Museum left us with a larger than expected deficit which also reflected our decision to hold members' fees unchanged despite large increases in postage and printing costs. The continued printing and Postage costs have forced as to increase the cost of membership from 1[st] January 2026. We still maintain cash reserves equivalent to a minimum of six months expenditure.
We feel the continued initiatives we have undertaken have been successful in countering the previous steady decline of membership due to the advancing age of our members and the decline in popularity of the sport. Our membership numbers were positive this year because of our support for the young rider’s initiative and adding our support to the hugely popular Speedway Show at the National Motor Museum at Gaydon. This also attracted several new rider
Charity number 1114501
members which has been sadly lacking in previous years. This included some of the top junior riders currently in the sport.
In addition to our 3 annual events, we are hoping to add further events in 2026 to further meet our charitable aims.
We aim to rotate exhibits in the museum; to maintain interest for visitors but the lack of volunteers sometimes prohibits this.
The trustees are extremely grateful for the support of our members who’s increasing membership, allows us to fund new initiatives in supporting our charitable aims.
As a charity we are indebted to the trustees, committee members and volunteers without whom we would not be able to run this charitable association.
