theBRM.co.uk Christmas Meet 2008 20/12/08

[Adam]

Hohoho!! The festive season is upon us and what better way to celebrate than a little Christams get together :yay:

The date is 20/12/08 and the location is the Heritage Motor centre at Gaydon.

Heritage Motor Centre
Banbury Road
Gaydon
Warwickshire
CV35 0BJ

I'm proposing that we meet at the museum opening time of 10:00am for a little look around. I know many people have been there before, but its a central-ish location with plenty to do.

Reserved parking area under theBRM.co.uk name.

Museum entry now confirmed as £6.00 per person.

After the museum we'll be convoying off to a local public house for some ale for the non-drivers and food for us that like to nurture our bellies! I'll be putting up details of the pub location when I have one sorted.

Plenty of pictures, plenty of BRM's and plenty of enthusiasm will make this a great winter meet :D

As usual pop your name down on the list:
