Wimbledon In Sporting History


Plough Lane, Wimbledon has been the site for many sporting events over the years. Professional football, greyhound racing, speedway and stock car racing have all had their day, and in the last three years,  AFC Wimbledon have returned to a brand new stadium to continue the sporting tradition. 

Come and hear John Lynch (Founder & Managing Director Wimbledon in Sporting Heritage) and Jon Stevens give us a history of Wimbledon’s Sporting Heritage and some of the memorable sporting occasions that have occurred down Plough Lane at our next meeting:

Tuesday 13th May at 7.30pm at the United Reformed Church, Rookstone Road, SW179NQ. (Tooting Broadway tube)

Members free, guests £2. Light refreshments.

Even if you are not interested in sport, this talk is bound to be a fascinating account of the passion and commitment generated by the different sporting activities that have been happening in Plough Lane for over 100 years.

We look forward to seeing you there.
