We have had a kind invite by the Westfield Sports Car Club (Cotswolds) to join them on an organised trip around the Morgan Car Company factory in Malvern. I know it's on a Friday but it promises to be a worthwhile few hours of motoring fun with some like-minded car enthusiasts.........
DATE FRIDAY 11TH FEBRUARY 2011
TIME 11.30a.m.
WHERE The Morgan Factory Visitor Centre, Spring Lane off Pickersleigh Road, Malvern Link. WR14 2LL
WEB http://www.morgan-motor.co.uk (http://www.morgan-motor.co.uk)
COST £10 per head
If you have an interest in seeing how cars are still hand-built in this country, get your name down quick -- just 8 places are booked and these will be available on a first-come-first-served basis although they seem quite relaxed about numbers and this could be increased. What we get on the tour..
· A Fully Guided 2 Hour Tour
· Museum visit
· Film Show
· Exposure to the inevitable shop
We will see both the traditional cars and the new Aero 8 models being built – the Aero 8 has some impressive modern engineering in it
Afterwards we will retire to the Nags Head, one of Malvern's best pubs that is nearby and serves excellent beverages.
It should be a fun visit!!! Who's interested?
I've done the factory before and it's very interesting so highly recommended.
I'm definitely interested but will check work commitments before I say yes!
I'm in.
I assume that the places reserved are per person, not per car load.

Yes it is per person :)
Can you put myself and Almondsburyhills down for the visit please, this sounds like a good run out, who do you have to arrange it with?
I'm up for it if I can get time off. Anyone got a spare seat? :)
Hi YellaBelly,
Your more than welcolm to ride shotgun with me. You won't need helmet or warerproofs and you could bring along your favourite CD.
Don't know where the meet-up is yet, nor if we're convoying or even meeting up with the WSCC lot !
Yes, we are up for that one.
Thats me and the other half. ;)
Mr & Mrs, Denzle.

Both myself and Alan (Almondsburyhills) have now booked the day off work for this event, and are looking forward to it as the sun shine has been booked, are then any meeting arrangements / times decided yet?
;) ;)
I have asked Casino (Peter) to take care of the organising of this one fearing more site problems.
I would hope he will be in contact with us soon.
Phil.
Yes please, can you put my name down please? Managed to get the day off.
Thanks Mark
Hello, I've been waiting for a reply from Andrew (WSCC) . My e-mail to him has been picked up but no answer yet . I also phoned him an hour ago and the phone rang out.
Phil I will forward a copy to you of my e-mail.
I had asked if we could pay our £10 entry fees "at the door", and where were the WSCC boys meeting and at what time.
I hope to post full details soon.

At last. I've spoken with Andrew at WSCC.
We've now filled our number allocation of 8 and unfortunately we will have to draw a line under the list.
I've sent full details by e-mail to all those involved ( except Dixie and I've asked Phil to forward ).
I,ve now got to try and change my password.

With regards to the password, make sure you write down the new one ;) I've lost count of the amount of times I've had to get a new one sent 'cos I forgot the old one :(
