We
will need to be off the track at 4.00pm.
Entrance
to the venue is free but there will be a one-off race entry
fee of £4 to cover the cost
of insurance levies (at cost). This will allow you to enter as
many races as you wish. The races are organised by the VHC&RC.
Please
note parking within Herne Hill is limited to those who are
competing in the races, displaying machines or who have a
jumble stall. We hope to have additional parking available at
a nearby school and also that some people will be able to
cycle or use public transport.
