Haynes Motor Museum Meet.
Discussion
It has been suggested that a PistonHeads meeting in the South West would be a good idea, so how about a meeting at the Haynes Motor Museum, at Sparkford near Yeovil?
I'm sure that you are all aware of the Haynes group through their manuals(the ones that have pictures of what your suposed to be looking at, but theirs is brand new and yours is covered in cack) but did you know they have a museum? Course you did! Want to go there with a load of other PH'ers? If so read on.
How about this,
One sunday after September the 8th, which is when the little darlings go back to school around here, and the woman on the museum reception said that would be best, as before then it's all very crowded. We can get a tour, guided by the museums curator, at a cost of £5.00each if we can muster 15 or more people. There is a large car park and picnic area, along with a cafe for the more affluent. More details of the museum can be found at www.haynesmotormuseum.co.uk
So,anyone interested? If so please make yourselves known, as I will have to book the tour (if there is sufficent interest). it's a little way off, so hopefully people can get things organised, Cheers Simon.

I have managed to book the Haynes Motor Museum Guided tour for SUNDAY 13TH OCTOBER.
This was the only date availble this year, as all other tours are already booked!
The Museum opens at 09.30 hrs, and our tour starts at 10.30. The cost is £5.00 per person, if we manage to muster 15 or over, which is payable on the door.
The tour is with the curator of the museum and lasts for approximately 1 hour.
There is a large car partk and picnic area, and the museum is very well sign posted from the A303.
More info on the museum www.haynesmotormuseum.co.uk
Just to recap: Sunday 13th October meet up in car park 9.30 onwards. See you there! Cheers Simon.

Questions Questions! There's no need to book, the tour has been arranged for a 10.30am start, and the Museum opens at 09.30am. I'll be there at 09.30am so just turn up with your fiver.
The tour takes about an hour so we should be all done just in time to drive, sedately! (LOL) to a local hostelry for Errm Lunch! See you all there! Simon.

To recap,
By popular demand, the Haynes Motor Museum meet is still on, albeit without the guided tour which was originally booked. The plan is to meet from 09.30 hrs in the Museum car park, and then who knows. Maybe a look around the exhibits and then a pub lunch? what ever you feel like.
So, Sunday 13th October, Haynes Motor Museum, Sparkford, Nr yeovil. See you all there.

I was planning to blast down the M5 to J25 Taunton then along that short bit (don't know the road name or number) then onto the A303, but I'm up for suggestions of a route. P.S I must appologise to anyone who may have had an infected Email from my machine, I THINK its sorted now, the emails were not coming from my machine but the virus was mimicing my address.
Dan, I'll be there, this is what to look for www.pistonheads.com/members/showcar.asp?carId=891 see you Sunday. Simon.

Hi Bob,
Sorry that I didn't get to meet you, I had a great time at, although not on the way to, the museum. The Lotus's engine was pretty dodgy before starting the trip, but I was hoping that it would hold out! No such luck! The new mill is sheduled to be fitted next saturday so all will be well for future meets. My biggest problem now is that I have fallen deeply in love! With the Lambo Countach in the "Red Room"! How to find £38000,00? Hmmm! Glad you had a good day, Cheers, Simon.
