    Haynes Motor Museum Meet (Possible)

    Hi

    I see alot of you on here like to organise days out and Meet events so I thought, why not see if I can organise one of my own.

    This is just an idea at the moment, but who would be interested in a Meet event at the Haynes Motor Museum in Yoevil (Somerset)? It's about a 2 and a half hour journey for me but it's not a bad trip for anyone within the south Midlands, the South and possibly London area as it's close to the Motoroway network.

    I'm not sure on a date yet but it will probably have to be no earlier than October. Admission is about £10 per head but I could always contact them and see if they do a special rate for groups.

    Who would be up for a Meet event there?

    Regards

    James

    I've just checked the website again, there is a discount for groups of 15 people or more and they do guided tours too.

    Ok, I wasn't aware that VPCUK members had met there before - so much for me finding a unique site to meet at!

    Anyway, we'll see how many responses there are over the next few days and take it from there.

    Thanks Martin, and I realised looking at the map how close it is to your neck of the woods. It's probably about an hours travel for you..?

    The good thing about meeting later in the year is that we'll all be able to show off our heated seats to each other. Quality...!
