Following a successful event in 2013 we have once again been invited by our friends in the North East region to attend their BMW Car Club day at Beamish. For those of us who have not been Beamish
is a world famous open air museum. It tells the story of life in North
East England in Georgian, Victorian and Edwardian times. It stands in 300 acres of beautiful County Durham countryside. Within the
site you will find Pockerley Old Hall, The Town, Rowley Station, The
Fairground, Home Farm and The Pit Village. With so many things to see,
Beamish is a wonderful day out for people of all ages, with free trams
and buses to get you all over the museum. At
the end of the day those wishing to stay a bit longer and display there
cars in the town centre for a great photo opportunity. The cost of this day out is only £8.00 per head if
your in a BMW, normal admission is £18 per adult and £10.00 per
child, great value! Entry
is pay on the day at the gate into the show field, entry is from 9.30am
till 11.00am arrive after 11.00am and unfortunately it's full price and
park in the public car park. The only stipulation
Beamish is strict about is there is no movement of vehicles between
11.00am and 4.00pm due to public safety. Beamish
is about two miles west off junction 63 of the A1M. Address is Beamish
Museum, Beamish, County Durham, DH9 ORG. Beamish web site http://www.beamish.org.uk/" rel="nofollow - www.beamish.org.uk So please add your name to the list if you would like to attend. We can also look into an overnight stay if there is the demand for that so if you wnat it to be an overnighter please state beside your name! Attending - Stay over state yes or no Issy - yes Cambell -yes Robin - Yes Shorty - yes Gary - Yes Michele & George - Yes jimbo - yes Paul & Lisa - Yes Stevie - Yes Big Dave- yes NeRo - yes
9/3 - PMs sent to all re hotel! -------------  |

Do we want to meet up and convoy on Saturday ? If so, I'm suggesting Granada Services at the East of the Edinburgh City Bypass at 13:15 for a 13:30 departure (Give or take Robins work finish time). With a leisurely drive, we should be signing in to the hotel between 15:30 - 16:00. remember and have your £1.60 for The Tyne Tunnel. Oh yeah, remember your (charged up and on Channel 2) walkie talkies aswell

Best wat is straight down A1 come off at junction 64 then follow A195 left at 1st roundabout and hotel will be 100 yards on the left. Much easier than Tyne tunnel :-)). ------------- Half Jock :-) |

Don't think we will manage to make the meet up point outside Edinburgh as our departure time at this end is still a bit uncertain so don't wait for us. we will take the radio and keep it on just in case we are not too far behind ( and probably lost as usual! ) Anyone got a plan regarding cleaning the cars down there since it looks a bit wet for the journey down? ------------- My Other Car is a SKODA.. really ! |

We wondered if you would go back that way. We had to stop for food near holy island and bought fuel to get us home. Didn't stop at Washington services cause I thought it would be too expensive but the gulf station in the middle of nowhere was £1.59.9 for super unleaded !! Filled up back home with shell at £1.37. ------------- My Other Car is a SKODA.. really ! |
