BROOKLANDS MUSEUM, SURREY
« on: 30 July 2014, 11:05:22 am »
Hi all.


Just started working (well loafing about chatting) here ..   http://www.brooklandsmuseum.com/  as a volunteer.


Plenty to see and do so thought it may make a good venue for a rideout???


If there is enough interest I can investigate the chances of a special group deal???

I'm a mile and a half away from Brooklands, yet still have not visited the museum!

Because of the proximity to Brooklands, my house and those nearby suffered bomb damage during WWII. In fact, some of the panes of glass in my windows are picture glass, which replaced blown out windows, still going strong!

Went down there a few months ago when me and her in doors went away for a romantic break at some posh hotel in Cobham. Took a few pics while there.

Well worth the visit. Lots of bikes cars and aviation history.

 I used to sell some of my motorsport art there and done the odd exhibition many years ago.
