f.VISITS BY THE TRANSPORT HISTORY GROUP
On 25 October there will be a trip to Coventry Transport Museum. This will be by rail. This is a brilliant Museum, giving the history of transport production in Coventry - bicycles, motorcycles and cars. For those who think road transport is not for them, there is also a lot about the social background in which this production took place. There are also special exhibitions on Jaguars and record-breaking cars, and there is a room dedicated to a huge model collection of Dinkies, Corgis, Matchbox and other brands.
Please note that as there is a lot of walking and standing on this trip, a reasonable amount of physical stamina is required.
