This event is another one of my favourites especially when the sun is shining and the turnout is very good. I highly recommend this event for everyone especially families with kids. They have so many volunteers dressed in period costumes and explain the significance of the exhibits on display and entertaining the public. They even have live music and it is always a great day out.
We as a club have been coming here for many years and always receive a very warm welcome from the organiser. We display our very handsome and cherished motorcycles for which we are presented with a voucher entitling us to a complimentary drink. This year there was a big turn out from the club members. Sam, Brian and I, Keith, Vinnie, Ron, Ray, Bill, Frank, Steve and Karen on their trike and Steve V. on his combo. George and his friend as well as old Bob arrived a little later by car.
The museum gives one an insight of how the people used live in the UK from pre and post world war years. There is an iron age barn dating from 18th centuries as well as many other exhibits housed in various barns and cottages.
Vinnie brought water, milk, coffee, tea and hot chocolate. Brian and I brought biscuits, cakes and sandwiches as well the stove and kettle to make our own drinks. We always talked about being self sufficient as tea’s and coffee’s are very expensive at so many of these motorcycle events and also saves us queuing up. Some of us have even purchased light weight folding chairs that we can carry on the back of our bikes to make ourselves comfortable.
We had such a lovely picnic with the sun shining down upon us and just enjoying the company of fellow bikers and exchanging our plans for the summer break. This was a brilliant days out and can’t till the next year.
