Boxing Day Scramble
A Memory of Pirbright.
I was brought up in Pirbright Village and my father was into motorbikes. My brother was older than me and had a motorcycle 1st but when I was old enough I also got a motorcycle. For many years as a family we went to Fox Hills on Boxing Day to watch the big boxing day scramble (now known as motocross). We usually took soup in a flask and bread with us. I cannot remember when, but the misrable war department stopped it. They said, that it was stopped due to soil erosion (it was only held once a year). The army landrovers and Bedford lorrys did more damage to Fox Hills than the motorcycles ever did. I miss those Boxing Day meetings. Fox Hills hasn't changed much.
