BARROW TRANSPORT
GROUP MEMBERS DIARY
Event's and Rallies For 2010
Welcome to our list of projected trips for 2010, we hope that you
find something of interest and look forward to seeing friends old and new.
As ever the trips can only run subject to the availability of
vehicles and drivers so as ever we cannot guarantee that they will all take
place but we will do our best. If you are intending joining us it would be
helpful if you could let us know in advance so we can plan pick ups, timings
etc. Don’t be scared of the answer phones as most of us work shifts and
so aren’t always awake or free to speak at “normal” times!
We will also be attending some local events in Barrow, the
Lifeboat Gala and Maritime Festival for starters so look out for details of
those too.
All effort will be made to run these trip but may be cancelled due to vehicle availability, crew availability or lack of member wanting to travel so book early
Working Parties will take place on Wednesday evening and Sunday please contact the group for details
