Drive It Day, Sunday 26th April 2015 - who's doing what?

#1 Post by Toledo Man »

As some of you may know, this year's Drive It Day takes place on Sunday April 26th. What is everyone going to be doing?

I've decided to tag along with the West Yorkshire TSSC area so if anybody local wants to join me please let me know. I will know more at next month's TSSC West Yorkshire meeting.

At last night's local TSSC meeting, it was decided that we're going to the Keighley & Worth Valley Railway. This is where some of the scenes for The Railway Children were filmed. The exact details will be finalised by the next meeting. The previous idea could be a possible venue for NDD but that's for another thread.

I missed the March meeting but I got the AO to e-mail me the newsletter for the meeting and here's the details of the Drive It Day event.
As I mentioned at our last meeting we are going to hold our Drive it Day event in the heart of west Yorkshire, around the Haworth area. Plans are firming up and broadly will consist of the following:

Meet 9:45 in a car park on the A629, Halifax Road just outside Denholme (next to the Farm Shop) for 10:00 depart (prompt)

1 ½ hours drive through some lovely country around Howarth

Arrive Ingrow (West) K&WVR museum @ 11:30 (steam train departs 11:50), Do what you like, enjoy the train, museum or explore.

Depart for Three Acres Pub (http://www.the-3-acres.co.uk/) at 14:45 to arrive about 15:00 for lunch/dinner (optional)

We are still working out the details of the route, Alan and I have driven around the proposed route and it looks lovely. At Aprils meeting I’ll bring a sheet for you to sign and let us know what you’re planning to do then we can let the various venues know how many are coming
I'll find out exactly where the meeting point is. The only farm shop I know of is the Keelham one which is situated on the A644 between Queensbury and Denholme.
