WORKING DAYS FOR CALENDAR YEAR
2012
The dates for the the
calendar year 2012 are as follows:-
Date All these
activities take place between 10.00 am. and 4.00 pm. at Leigh on the Sundays in
question. In order to dispel
a myth it is not necessary to have qualifications in engineering or great skill
in DIY or bus repair techniques in order to help out at one of our working days
and the invitation is therefore open to all members who wish to come along and
join us to help in pursuing further achievements. Most of the work is
relatively routine and down to earth, such as sanding down, scrubbing, cleaning
and painting, and these basic fundamental factors probably relate to
approximately 70% of the work undertaken.
Any member who wants to come down to help out in any of
these basic functions is more than welcome to do so. Obviously if we have
any members who have any DIY skills then we would welcome meeting them as they
can perhaps become involved in the remaining 30% of activities such as drilling,
screwing, riveting, repairing and replacing.
Taking part in
rectification of vehicles is not a great skills bestowed on relatively few
individuals; it is a task that can be accomplished quite easily by any members,
should they wish to participate. We do hope that we will see a considerable
number of our members come along to help out in whatever way they wish on some
of the working days listed above, between 10.00 am. and 4.00 pm. If you wish to
have a chat about potential input please don't hesitate to ring our membership
secretary on 0161-736 9899.
Alternatively you can make contact by
e-mailing us at
membership@selnec.org.uk.
ROAD RUNS, RALLIES AND SHOWS FOR
CALENDAR YEAR 2012
The following
are the remaining proposed rallies, road runs and shows we intend to be involved
in during the calender year of 2012. We should make it clear that any member of the SELNEC Preservation Society, who subscribes by paying their membership fee and
receiving these newsletters is perfectly entitled not only to attend our
premises in Leigh to look at the vehicles, but to take part in any of the
aforementioned rallies, road runs and shows listed below. These are not events
just for our Trustees or working members, but for any member who chooses to come
along.
Should any member therefore be interested in attending one of these
events either from the start point in Leigh where most of them commence
from, or by arrangement being collected at a mutually convenient place between
Leigh and the rally event, then they should contact the Membership Secretary
on 0161 736 9899 or e-mailing us at
membership@selnec.org.uk. The departure times shown are
estimated and vehicles may leave earlier or later (they may even leave from
an alternative starting point) so if you are planning to attend it would be
wise to check the departure details during the week preceding the event by
calling 0161 736 9899.
