'Cold War, Hot Fen! Fifty International Years of Mildenhall Speedway'

Description

Dr Mills was invited by the Mildenhall Fen Tigers' promotion to write a piece on the history of this speedway club. The resultant 2,000-word article, 'Cold War, Hot Fen! Fifty International Years of Mildenhall Speedway', was published in the 50th anniversary souvenir programme. At the same time, the 'Racing in the East' exhibition was installed for the event. The race meeting was contested by the Mildenhall Fen Tigers and the Isle of Wight Warriors. This also marked the club's return to race action - after a two-year absence - following the establishment of the Mildenhall Speedway Supporters Community Trust (a CIC). This is a rare success story for a sport which has witnessed the closure of multiple historic venues in recent years.
