The Industrial Heritage Group
Leader: Mike Stow - indhist@ashbyu3a.co.uk - phone 01530 469152
The Industrial Heritage Group is for members who have an interest in our industrial heritage of trains, cars, planes, bikes, early manufacturing etc. to visit museums, railways, factories and other places related to our industrial past. We occasionally take a quite broad view of what constitutes "Industrial Heritage" if it is of interest to us!
Travel arrangements vary depending on how far we have to travel, but generally we meet in Ashby to car-share.
Our trips are normally on Wednesdays unless otherwise stated.

Wednesday 26th November. Planning Meeting at the Bluebell
20 members turned out for our annual planning meeting to try to decide where to visit next year. The pub opened specially for us and provided lunch, tea and coffees (and drinks!) for which we thank both the pub and Bill for arranging it.
We were quite successful in getting more than enough potential venues for a full season and now a few volunteers are going away to check on opening dates, prices and other information before we finalise the programme for next year.
We have decided on January's venue which will be the Museum of Making at Derby. This is close by, easy to get to and indoors if the weather is inclement. And as a bonus it is free and therefore easier to organise!.
Other venues will appear on the website as they are finalised. It promises to be an interesting year
