BARROW TRANSPORT GROUP MEMBERS DIARY
BARROW TRANSPORT GROUP MEMBERS DIARY
Event's and Rallies For 2007
With the arrival of several new buses to the group, (well warmer and faster buses), this year we hope to travel further away than in previous years to visit events we have been unable to reach. All these trips will run depending to the amount of interest shown. For longer distance journeys, such as Showbus and Lathalmond we might want use either a hired coach or perhaps the Talbot Tri-axle minibus!!!!
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
