February Meet - Re-scheduled for Sunday 20th March

Following discussions with Rob, I've decided to re-schedule the gathering at Old Warden for Sunday 20th March at 11am. If there's enough interest I'll be able to negotiate a reduced rate for the museum collection.

To get an idea of numbers of vehicles attending, please could you email me if you're planning to come.

My bus number (if any): RM1699 Eastbourne Regent V 69 (KHC369)

February Meet - Sunday 20th March

Seeing the post about a possible rally venue at the Heritage Motor Museum at Gaydon I thought I'd bring this post back to the top. Several RM (and other London bus) owners are gathering again at The Shuttleworth Collection, Old Warden, SG18 9EP, just off the A1 near Biggleswade. Nice cafe and you can arrange reduced admission to the museum if you contact Steven Wood.

Re: February Meet - Sunday 20th March

Just back from my hols, and I have a lot of catching up to do.
Does anyone know if the Shuttleworth meet at Old Walden this Sunday is still on? if so do we know who is attending.

Cheers Rob.

Re: February Meet - Sunday 20th March

The gathering at Old Warden on Sunday is on. I've around 8-10 vehicles at the moment. I'm happy to welcome more, so if any one wants to bring their bus along please let me know.

I've also around 5 people interested in the Museum. I might be able to get a reduced entry so if any one would like a ticket, please let me know.

According to some of the bus interest group postings, Fotopic has gone down and been like that for a week or so. No sign of it resurrecting and no announcements.

Hi Stephen

I hope to be there with RM577, and will want to visit the museum.

Thanks!

Re: February Meet - Sunday 20th March

Just to confirm that the aim is to meet up from about 11am and have lunch in the cafe a bit later. I've aroud 6 who have expressed interest in visiting the museum but I need 20 to qualify for a discount! The forecast for Sunday is dry and fine but maybe not too warm!

Look forward to seeing you all there.

Re: February Meet - Sunday 20th March

Very nice to see everyone on sunday . Perhaps we should have a day at the seaside in the summer ? Fish and chips at Hunstanton sounds good to me ?
