Hi Everyone,
In October the club will be visiting Drayton Manor and Statfold Country Park and you’re invited!
On Saturday 18th October we’ll be spending the day at Drayton Manor! We’ll start off at 9:30am-10:00am with a 30 mins behind the scenes look at Gold Rush, the park’s newest rollercoaster, and then from 10:00am-10:30am we’ll have 30 mins exclusive ride time on Accelerator before we enjoy the rest of the day at the park. The cost for this day is £35 for members (non members are welcome).
On Sunday 19th October we’ll be traversing a long 7 miles to the other side of Tamworth to visit Statfold Country Park! Late last year Dingles Fairground Museum in Devon closed for good and new homes were required for their collection of rare vintage fairground rides. Luckily, Statfold stepped in and have worked with The Fairground Heritage Trust to transfer the rides to their new “National Fairground Museum” in the Midlands. This is a great opportunity for us to support the great work that has been done to preserve these historic rides you’ll get the chance to see and ride some beautiful attractions such as the world’s only operating Moonrocket ride!
For £25 we have secured unlimited rides on all of the vintage rides and a behind the scenes tour of the locomotives in the museum (as these won’t be open to the public on that day). There is also the optional extra to show off your moves in the afternoon rollerskating session at the onsite rollerskating rink for a discounted extra £5! Again Non-members are welcome to join us.
You can sign up for both days or just one. Sign up is open now!
See you there!
Emily
