When is it?: Sunday 4th September, 10am – 5pm
Where is it at?: Atwell-Wilson Motor Museum, Stockley Lane, Calne , Wiltshire, SN11 0NF (http://www.atwellwilson.org.uk/getting-here.html) Just off of the M4 at Chippenham
How much is it to get in?: It's free to access the Paddock where our events will be held, we have negotiated a discounted rate for museum entry of £6 per person (£1.00 per child - 5yrs/15yrs). The museum is a charitable trust so all entry fees go to a good cause.
So what’s it all about then?: Our annual get together, TDCIR, has moved down south this year and is guaranteed to be the largest gathering of Dolomites, Toledos and FWD cars in the world! No theme is set yet but we will have our usual mix of informal concours, autojumble and regalia sales.
The museum itself is a charity and is quite small in relation to the likes of Gaydon but it does have over 100 exhibits and a number of cars on loan from Gaydon including.... wait for it......
The last Dolomite to roll off of the production line, chassis number 113504!
If you don't know Calne, it's a quaint Wiltshire village situated close to the M4 on the edge of the north Wessex Downs close to Chippenham, a good location for those coming down from the north or across the south. There's lots to do in the surrounding area, the village itself is home to the 'Wiltshire Cure' technique of curing ham and bacon! There is Bowood house and gardens which is a privately owned country house with activities for the kids, a huge play area, waterfalls etc...
For anyone wanting to make a weekend in the area there are several National places that you could visit such as Laycock Abbey and village, or Durham Park. I bit further away and close to Bristol/M5 is Tyntesfield which is well worth a visit.
The ladies may like to visit Cribbs Causeway shopping centre on the Saturday, which is close to the M4/M5 junction.
A truly great day out for ALL the family – don’t miss it!
I will edit this post to include details of events on the day.
