a brilliant response so far, just to keep everyone up to speed, I have asked the museum if we can have a seperate area to park, will let you all know the answer.
Maybe meet up before for a little run? Or even have a run after to a pub/cafe?

Right, this information is really out of date. My mum used to live in Somerset, and there was a really good pub not far from her place. It's about 14 miles from Sparkford, but according to beerintheevening, it's still in business..

We are talking a long time (nearly 20 years!) since I was last there, but I'd be happy to take a trip down if I'm in that neck of the woods. Alternatively, there used to be a Little Chef just over the road from the museum, which will of course be overpriced and slow, but so long as we know this in advance it won't come as a surprise..

Cheers,

Plug

I will find us a good pub to eat, little chefs are not nice! If you can try the one you mention, fantastic

Update... they will cordon of an area in front of the museum on the day top guys!
We just need to set a date, so come on Charlotte, when can you come

OK guys and girls, shall we say the 20th then, gives a better chance of sunshine later in April! Im so looking forward to it, should we invite Panda owners from the Fiat Motor Club too?
Also, the museum can do us a guided tour if we want, or shall we just do our own thing once there. Lastly, I appreciate some of you having a long drive to this, so if we arranged to meet say 11am that means you dont have to get up too early... then a drive to a pub for lunch after the museum visit? Comments and suggestions welcome

Sounds great! Count me in (with Floyd!) Be nice to invite the Panda owners from Fiat motor club GB. The more the merrier!!!!!!! :slayer::slayer:

OK April 20th it is, as we need to let them know... will contact them now.
