Events

Can we remind members/friends and any enquiries from the public that we are an unpaid Charitable organisation, and therefore not always able to reply to telephone calls as many of the Board members are otherwise employed. If you have not received a reply please try to communicate via text or email. Thank you.

It was nice to see The Wharfedale Triumph TR Group who dropped in today for a look round today, (21st November). Thank you for your interest, donation and a chance to see some of your own vehicles. The usual thanks from the Museum go to to Simon and Marlene Waye, (who provided hot beverages on a freezing day) John Hewitt and Macaulay Kirby who once again made sure everything went well.
