Very good news Ed. We must try and find a detailed map showing the quite hidden little lane which leads from the ring road down to the Museum's forecourt!

Gents......date has had to be changed. Now 28th October, due to a n other group having the audacity & brass neck to choose MY date sometime "earlier" this year.......cheek of it
Could have informed sooner, BUT BLOCK 'ED 'ere made a Billy Silly Chump of 'imself by attaching last years completed form to the replying email.......
Just sorted it today. Contact at Cov Council goes AWOL Fri afternoons 'til Tuesday...... So she was probably catching up yesterday & today.
APOLOGIES
Emails going out to each individual who's contacted me..... 7 so far.

Hi Dave,
Looks like another 3 interested people on Facebook so far. I'll continue publishing the event on the members page closer to the time as well.
Do you have an idea of a start time and also one person has asked if there is a discount to the entrance fee of the museum?
Thanks,
Dave

If you've never visited this museum you're in for a huge surprise - a vast cross section of items to see and much to learn about. Almost worth hoping for a wet day!!

Keith is absolutely right, the museum itself is a real gem, which is fitting for somewhere with such a vast automotive history as Coventry. It tends to be forgotten that Triumph, Jaguar, Daimler, Hillman, Humber, Singer, Riley, Standard, Armstrong Siddeley, Lea-Francis, and various others, were all based in and around the city at some point! I spent most of the meetup last year wandering around the museum for hours and completely losing track of time, to the point that I was assumed to have silently gone home!
There are still two months to go, but would anyone in the West Mids tentatively be up for a convoy to the museum on the morning of the meetup?
