Andrew Davis MSTG Media Manager The Club is a keen Supporter of the FHBVC. There is a list of Other Drive It days here -maybe there is one near to you that you could join in? Standard Motor Club’s Anglia Run 2012 Friday 4th – Monday 7th May @ Melton Mowbray (I apologise to those of you Midlanders missing the sea breeze – we will be back on the coast in 2013)
We will be based at the Sysonby Knoll, an AA*** Hotel on the edge of Melton Mowbray, a market town famous for its Pork Pies and Stilton Cheese – we’re sure to be tasting some of the finest local fayre.
Melton Mowbray and the Sysonby Knoll Hotel is a popular base for classic car groups with great quiet surrounding country roads that are perfect for our cars. I have not yet finally decided on an Itinerary but some of the possibilities are as follows: Belvoir Castle overlooking the Vale of Belvoir or Belton House (National Trust Woolsthorpe Manor - National Trust, birthplace of Sir Isaac Newton, with science museum and tea shop – a good morning coffee or afternoon tea stop. Abbey Pumping Station (Leicester) - Opened in 1891, the Abbey Pumping Station pumped Leicester's sewage to the treatment works at Beaumont Leys. The grand Victorian building and beautifully decorated beam engines were a cause of great civic pride. When it closed in 1964, the site was preserved because of the four magnificent beam steam engines that were used to pump the sewage. The engines were built in Leicester by Gimsons and today are rare examples of Woolf compound rotative beam engines. Three of the four engines have been restored back to working condition. The might, power and beauty of Victorian engineering can be seen throughout the year, and working at special steam events, the only place in Britain this magnificent sight can be seen. The museum also has exhibitions on light and optics, historic transport and public health. Next door is the National Space Centre which is also a possibility for us to visit.
I’m also looking into the possibility of a tour around the Toyota Factory at Burnaston, Derby, just 35 miles away. This is where the current Avensis and Auris Hybrid models are built and the next generation Prius is likely to be built there too – a chance to see how a modern car is made in a state of the art factory by British workers.
Please let me know of these what you especially would like to do, or not do. I need to know quickly for the Toyota Factory visit. There will be other possibilities … I know you like some surprises too …
