JOC Open Day - Crich Tramway Village Sunday 31 March 2019

Post by shaun »

This year sees the JOC return to the National Tramway Museum at Crich in Derbyshire.

Entrance is free for those driving a Jensen and displaying within the Village and discounted group rate of £11 for accompanying passengers.
Ideally please arrive around 10.00 to get a good parking place.
The Tramway Village contains a magnificent collection of trams and associated memorabilia dating back to the 19th Century set in a period recreation of authentic buildings and alike from a by-gone age.
There is ample catering on site and a myriad of things to see and do.
In the afternoon, we will have use of the meeting room above the Red Lion for an opportunity for a get together to discuss whatever may be on any one’s mind about the Club, the way its going, the future or whatever.

Crich is conveniently situated close to many of the main routes running through the Midlands. This makes it readily accessible from Sheffield, Derby, Nottingham, Leicester, Stoke-on-Trent, Birmingham and beyond. Just 8 miles from junction 28 of the M1, Crich can also be easily accessed using the A38, the A6, the A61 and the A52. SATNAV – DE4 5DP
For more information about the museum, visit http://www.tramway.co.uk

Great venue! I loved it last time and hope to be able to go this year.
Sadly, I don't have a mother, so it's not clashing for me.

Interesting that I e-mailed Shaun on 28th January asking were we having an Open Day this year. His reply was that he was close to arranging a venue.

VALLHA!!!

Many apologies.

It seems I made a mistake regarding the admission fee for the Tramway Village.

From the Tramway Village web site:

Drivers wishing to bring their cars into the Village will be admitted free, with passengers admitted at group rates.

Group rate is £11.

Very sorry.

Would just like to say a big thank you to all those members, families and friends who came to the Tramway Village today for the JOC Open Day.
Great weather, an impressive selection of cars from a 541 through all models to the S-V8.
Good time had by all, I think.

Good to see everyone yesterday. Think we are the die hard owners who get our cars come rain or shine. Great that the weather stayed dry for the journey home. My phone sent me on a cross country route on the way back but I picked up the A5012 and then the A515 back to Buxton. What a cracking couple of roads to stretch the old girls legs. Back in a couple of hours and Lewis won the grand prix. Result. Catch you soon cheers Alistair
