No printer here I’m afraid and I’m not in work this week either to print it off. Is this okay?

[Pericoloso]

If asked to do so ,show the smiley on your phone.

[Moley RUFC]

Fair point - certainly can do that. Booked onto the tour too, looking forward to that.

Hi all!

You should have now received your joining instruction email with map to show you where to park.

Just thought I'd double confirm with you where we're parking - we'll be at the visitors parking, where our PH smiley is and big red arrow is pointing at.

The Visitors Centre parking won't be able to accommodate anyone so please don't go down to there.



See you Sunday!

[MrC986]

For anyone travelling north to the event, there's a group of us meeting from the Midlands forum & heading north via a scenic route if you'd like to join us (details in the Midlands forum)

[va1o]

Are they running multiple tours? We're booked on but wondering if could swap to an earlier time slot

[Northern.N]

No access to a printer too
Hope the phone-smiley will be ok?

[Fun Bus]

The best I could get was a midday tour (booked Wednesday). Don’t mind as keen to experience it. I’ll arrive a bit later than 9am with that in mind.

Rain’s stopped and forecast to be cloudy and 18/19deg so should be fun for those real wheel drive exotics.

Thanks to Ben & the PH team for a great morning at JCB. The tour of the museum was very interesting & worth the effort to pre-book. The free coffee was also great (thanks for the sponsor on this) - JCB certainly made the effort & a great first visit to the factory for PH.

[Northern.N]

Good meet this morning, yep! Enjoyed it!
Great location too!

[chungster]

Despite the dodgy weather, the story of JCB made up for it. Thanks to ALA for sponsoring the coffee (generator issues meaning a bit of a queue) and tour guide Dennis for the Tour.

Some quality cars on show - love the M3 with a V10 under the hood! I’d defo get out of the way if I saw the front of a ZL1 Camaro in my rear view mirror



Hope Ben and the PH crew enjoy the biscuits

Thanks for organising this, was the first Sunday Service despite being on he for many a year, and a great selection of cars and well organised

[Moley RUFC]

Agreed, kept up my record of only driving the 4C Spider with the roof off even if we did get wet on the way up this morning

[C70GT]

Thanks to everyone for a superb visit, no matter how simple these things look to participants they do not 'just happen'.

JCB obviously understand the importance of good PR and they excelled themselves this morning. Likewise, hopefully we all did the same. I did not witness any of the usual knucklebrain driving antics that has got us a bad name in the past. All in all a very interesting and civilized way to spend a Sunday morning.

Shame about the weather, ended up in the civic but I did average on 70mpg today!

The tour was a mixed bag, too short to cover anything in detail but seemed to take almost 2 hours including walk and shop time so half the cars had gone once I got back.

That said still a great morning, hospitality was brilliant, bacon was quality and coffeee when we got it was good too.

Looking forward to being able to get to one on the bike again
