The Southern Cyclist Camp was held at Busbridge Park on August Bank Holiday 1888 with racing taking place on the recreation ground. The committee gave notice that "If there is the slightest sign of any Wild West foolery, the offenders will be promptly chucked."
The Southern Counties held their sixth race meeting on August 5th 1889, the track was described as heavy and there was a stiff wind. The meeting was at a time when ordinary bicycles were still raced, so the events included safety, ordinary, mixed safety and ordinary bicycles and tricycle races.
The Godalming Recreation Club held cycle race meetings on the Recreation ground through the early 1900's. The track was described as 2½ laps to the mile. The cycle races were usually a one lap scratch race and 1, 3 and 5 miles handicap races. The meetings were held on Whit Mondays.
Guildford Wheelers held a Wednesday track meeting on August 26th 1903 as their usual venue at Guildford Sports ground was not available.
The Godalming Recreation Club continued to hold bicycle race meetings on the Recreation Ground until 1906.
The Recreation Ground is still in use and is known as Holloway Hill Recreation Ground. It is protected by ‘Fields in Trust' as a green space for perpetuity. It is the home of Godalming cricket club. There are two football and cricket pitches and four public tennis courts.
