Memories Series - Plessey Sports Day Traditional Cache

This cache is part of the memories series set up by The Old Soldier and me focusing on our childhood memories and the places that played a part in them. We hope that you enjoy visiting the places and sharing in the memories of two middle aged romantics!

When I was younger the sports day / fair on Plessey Field was a big draw for everyone around.

This is what I can remember:

• We lived a couple of streets away and if you didn’t park on the road your car would get blocked in.
• I loved the miniature train when I was younger.
• Different children’s races.
• Donkey rides
• I can also remember running a stall with he Guides later on.
• The day after kids would queue up to go litter picking as they were all on the lookout for dropped coins!!!!!
• Your entrance ticket also got you a free drink
• Around Wimbledon time lots of teenagers could be seen collecting the keys so they could gain access to the tennis courts.

If you have any memories of the location please share.
