There will be no Post Office Vehicle Gathering at the Amberley Museum & Archive this spring.  The museum’s new management has decided that it is “unviable” to open the museum for our event.  We hope to find an alternative venue for the Vehicle Gathering in 2014.  We are grateful to the volunteers at the Connected Earth building at Amberley for their support over the past six years. 

 

There are two confirmed Post Office themed events this year for members and friends of the Club to display their vehicles.

 

On 13th/14th July 2013, the Nene Valley Railway’s TPO Group is having a Rail Mail Weekend when it will be unveiling its 1971 Karrier Mobile Post Office and trailer GGO 926J at its museum at Ferry Meadows station. The Club has been asked to complement the Mobile Post Office with a display of GPO and Post Office vehicles. Camping is available at Wansford if you decide to come for both days (please mark the additional information box if you want to camp). The museum will also accommodate most of the railway’s nine TPO coaches and these will be in use over the weekend using the exchange equipment near Wansford station.

 

The Buckinghamshire Railway Centre’s TPO Group is holding a Moving Mail Weekend on 10th/11th August 2013 and we hope to put on a preserved vehicle display on the Sunday at Quainton Road, to complement displays by other postal history societies such as the BPMA, Railway Philatelic Society and possibly the Letter Box Study Group. You can attend on both Saturday and Sunday if you wish, and there is a camping space available at the station.

 

We hope to have Club sales stands present on all three days.

 

More details of these events can be obtained from our Archivist at markskillen@btinternet.com.
