crescent girl 1,905 Posted May 30, 2012 The next Sunday opening will be July 22nd.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SpeedwayAce 4 Posted June 10, 2012 Just wondered if the museum would be open in the Sunday 17 June. Planning on going to Berwick on Saturday for the GP Qualifier and then on to Glasgow for their fixture on Sunday. Would be great to spend a couple of hours there on the Sunday morning as we will be travelling via Edinburgh. I know the above post mentions July but there may be a few fans in the area looking for a way to pass the time on this coming Sunday. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ned Kelly 41 114 Posted October 15, 2013 I'd give my eye-teeth (if I had any left) to be able to visit this place. Two of my mates were there a year ago and have been raving about it ever since they came home. Is it still open, and can anyone post dates for 2013/14?

tyretrax 2,253 Posted October 15, 2013 it is still open and unfortunately I think you missed an open day last Sunday. I think Ned meant is it still opened as in "this year". Mose said on Friday at Armadale that the 13th was the last Sunday for this year. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jsteve1999 10 Posted November 23, 2014 It is called Cinders to Shale it is just outdide Edinburgh Run by a great guy called Ian Patterson I went a couple of years back it is like a speedway bike wonderland It is whithout a doubt the best in the world by miles I could have stayed talking to Ian about his machines all day but I had to go. If you are interested in speedway machines this is the place Ian says it is a collection not a museum I can't wait to get bacj to see Ian and his collection Regards to All Steve 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
