Spadeadam Motor Club's 50th Anniversary 2009

Spadeadam Motor Club was formed in 1959, at the Spadeadam Rocket Establishment, near Carlisle. Early members were Rolls Royce and De Havilland employees at the base, and all activities were restricted to Spadeadam employees. At the time the Blue Streak rocket programme was in full swing, and the Blue Streak rocket became the Club's logo, and still remains to this day. Many of the current Club events have names relevant to the Rocket days
