Default Haynes Motor Museum Easter Sunday

Now changed to Saturday 30th March

On the 31st March a few of us are going and you are all invited to join us

Location is, Sparkford, Yeovil, Somerset, BA22 7LH. Lots to see and do!! check out their Web Site. www.haynesmotormuseum.com

I have arranged for allocated parking at the front of the museum (if there is enough of us) so you will need to bring your polishing kit

Entrance is £9.95 per adult (well worth it) dropping to £8.95 if 15 or more in the group.

Please let me know if you wish to attend

Yes it is a great place, they have now got a large event booked in including an auction, can't blame them for taking it over us

If there is enough interest in the next couple of weeks I will re-book for another date.

Dal, Why not join Mo & others in March and see the whole exhibition. . I've been a few times over the years and there's always seem to be new attractions to view.

Just had an email from the museum, They can't give us allocated parking on the Saturday either as the auction company will be setting up for the Sunday, the museum will be fully open to the public!

The question is, do we just go anyway? or re-arrange for another weekend when they can offer allowcated parking?

I don't mind either way so lets have a show of hands!!!

Who says lets just go anyway??
