I think Matchams Park was running - maybe for just a year - around 1970. I visited once.

Poole ran a junior team there 1972/3, a number of riders went on to appear for poole including Martin Yeates,len Davis,Geoff swindells,Russel foot and Dave buttigeig who would have gone a lot further in the sport but concentrated on go- karting I believe and became a world champion.steve lomas and Brian chaldicot are others who rode for other teams lomas(Weymouth,hackney,wolves,Edinburgh and Boston),chaldicot(Bradford).mike broadbank was in charge of the training.
