Well, we got there in the end! I have spoken to Tony O'Keeffe (at JDHT) today and he has confirmed our visit to the Museum on the above date.
Initial Details are as follows :-
Museum is open 10.00am - 4.00pm.
Arrive at Museum 10.30 am for 11.00 start, I think this will give sufficient time for those travelling a distance to get there.
For those who can make it at 10.30, Tony has kindly offered the staff facilities to make tea and coffee........if you want biscuits you'll have to bring them yourselves! Also, if we wish the Boardroom is available to us to sit down, chat, make introductions etc.
11.00 - 1.00pm Tony or one of his colleagues will give us a guided tour of the Museum including the Workshop facilities.
Afterwards Tony has recommended The White Lion "just up the road" as a good lunch venue (I will gather further details re parking, booking etc. presently) . So we can adjourn for lunch and then make our way home at our leisure
Apparently access to the Museum will be by the historic Browns Lane gates. I will post further details re access, parking etc. when I receive them via e-mail from JDHT.
For the moment.........can everyone definately attending please confirm on this thread asap so I can give details of numbers attending (including passengers if applicable). I have initially suggested that I am expecting between six to twelve cars to attend.
Tony O'Keeffe tells me that he is a BIG XJS fan and is very much looking forward to seeing us all, so lets try for a good turnout
Finally, for the moment, may I say how pleased I am that we are going on our first trip out (notwithstanding Booze Cruises) and I hope it leads to many more.
Very Best Wishes
