Been a couple of times well worth a visit especially if you are into engineering. They have the last ever Foden to roll off the line IIRC it's an eight legger. They also have the original Leyland popemobile. Decent cuppa from the cafe as well. Anyone want to make this a venue meet?

Yep happy with that, just off the M6 so fairly straightforward to get to for most.

Any chance of one of you clever bastards doing some techie stuff?

Well I don't know what the collective pronoun is for a bunch of BXs is (?) but it looks like we might have one - anyone willing to dare a date?

I'll not be able to do the 15th, as that weekend is my wife's birthday. I don't think a trip around a truck museum would be an ideal birthday treat for her, but will ask anyway..... [-(

This could easily turn into a long exchange of frustrating diary clog ups.

Were unlikely all to be available for particular weekends. If its any use could interested BXers possibly indicate if they can make it on these saturdays (is saturday the 'right' day or is Sunday preferable?). If we can agree to pick the date when most are available then we can perhaps go for that.


22nd Oct
29th Oct
5th November


Cricket seasons over so as of now im probably ok for all three.
