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.
Future programme | ||||
| Date | Time | Venue | Organiser | Details |
| Fri 7th Mar | 9.30 am | JCB Factory tour | Kurt Kovach | A guided tour of the JCB factory at Rocester near Uttoxeter. Tickets for the tour have to be bought in advance, paid in full, so payment up front to our u3a account will be required. The price will be £30.54 and the tour will start at 9.30 am. Note also the date is not our usual one, it's a Friday, as they only do tours on 3 or 4 days each month. Further details to follow. |
Wednesday 27th November. Planning Meeting at the Blue Bell Inn
A dozen members got together on Wednesday to try to put together a programme of visits for next year. There was much discussion on suitable venues, some new and some that we've been to before but newer members may not have visited. It was a productive meeting and we followed it up in the traditional way with lunch and a drink at a fine local pub, the Blue Bell in Ashby.
We will publish the first dates as we get them finalised.
