Ilshaw Heath Engineering Club. Open Day and Road Run 1st June 2008

Join us for a fun day out at the Birmingham Society of Model Engineers www.birmingham-sme.co.uk Open Day on Sunday 1st June 2008 at Ilshaw Heath, near Earlswood. BSME have grounds containing several railway tracks ranging from 0 gauge to 7.5” all operating live steam trains. We have been invited to take our classic Rovers there to form a small display (maximum 15 cars in the display) and to spend the afternoon enjoying rides on the trains and talking with other engineering enthusiasts. If you are not into talking nuts, bolts and washers enjoy watching the trains being operated. There is a small club room on the site providing tea, coffee, soft drinks and some food at reasonable price. You could enjoy the afternoon by bringing you own picnic and sitting on the grass in the sun (fingers crossed) in the centre of the tracks. Only the first 15 will get inside the track, all others will form a display in the field opposite. We will be meeting at 10.00am in Wythall and have a short treasure hunt/quiz drive (15 to 20 miles) around the Warwickshire countryside ending up at Ilshaw Heath at around 12 noon. Should you not wish to take part in the treasure hunt/quiz drive you could make your way direct to Ilshaw Heath. Full instructions will be sent out with pass.
