Mark Bushell writes, "I can now confirm that due to technical problems with the vehicle in question (and an illness of one of our invited guests) the bus will now be launched on Thursday 4th September at 12.30pm, outside the new premises of the world famous Laurel and Hardy Museum at Oubas Hill, Ulverston. We would be delighted if any of your friends could make this new date."

A Celebration Stan Laurel Bus will be launched in front of the new Laurel and Hardy Museum premises, in Ulverston, on Friday 29th August at 12.30pm. The bus will be officially opened by Jeanette Jenkinson, (Mayor of Ulverston), Marion Grave (Laurel and Hardy Museum) and others.

Organiser Mark Bushell says, "The bus is resplendent with images from Stan's career and charts his life, from his birth in Ulverston, to his death in the USA. The bus has been produced to encourage passengers of all ages to engage with the vehicle and find out a little more about the life of one of the legends of comedy. It is also hoped that the vehicle will encourage people to leave their cars at home and use public transport."

Mark enthuses, "I would be delighted if you could invite as many of your friends and members as possible to the launch as we want to make it have a party atmosphere."
