Walk down memory lane...thanks to Kirkwoods Produce

With the 2026 Intercity Pace fast approaching I thought it was only fitting to share a memory from Mum's scrapbook. 🐎

The picture shows the grandstand and crowd taken in Jan 1962. 🤩
Trotting and especially the Intercity Pace was a huge part of Maitland's sporting fabric.

Stay posted for more of Mum's scrapbook memories... 📔
