Right then folks it's official (unofficially) The new northumbrian meet will take place at Woodhorn Colliery Museum/QEII Country Park nr Ashington on the 15th & 16th of May.

I thought I'd try something a bit different this time so decided on a 2 day event. The site consists of a country park with a lake & huge free carpark & also the Colliery museum, also on site at Woodhorn there is a Premier Inn & Brewer's Fayre pub/restaurant called the Woodhorn Grange for those who are travelling from further afield.

The plan is to congregate at Woodhorn around lunchtime on the Saturday & have a liesurely drive up to bonny Alnwick to catch a ride on Dreadnought Coaches open topper & possibly a quick visit to Dreadnought's depot to see the rest of the vintage fleet, then back to Woodhorn to prepare for the evening ahead which will either consist of a trip to the nearby Widdrington Inn for some proper good value pub grub & then back to the Grange for an evening of socialising or failing that a meal & social evening at Woodhorn. Then on Sunday a nice lazy meet in the QEII carpark & a wander across to the museum to see how coal mining was done back in the day, also BigRuss will be bringing his T4 for anyone who requires a health check or options enabled/disabled

So who's up for it?
