:: [ SVVS Visit to Amberley Museum - July 2010 ] ::

This visit was in lieu of the scheduled Sunday meet cancelled due to the closure of the Dog and Duck. D&D was traditionally not a good turnout so guess this must have transferred to the "Amberley Amble" which too had a pretty poor turnout. Four cars, plus one late, and only nine people. This meant that we were not able to take advantage of the minimum 10 people “group attendance” to reduce entrance and lunch costs. 

The Amberley Museum and Heritage Centre site is enormous which really cannot be explored properly in one day. There is simply too much to see and involves a fair bit of walking, or chufferpuffing, or clipclopping or opentopbussing. Entire buildings of exhibits provided by such as British Telecom, Southern Electricity, Southdown etc etc. Some of the excuses for Members not coming was that they had been there before. I will need to return simply to see more of it!  The text and photos are by Bozi Mohacek. Please click on any thumbnail picture below to see the full size picture.
