Disgusted by Critch Minor Day

Second post, it appears the first was MODERATED.

I'm aware that the day was orgainsed by the Tramway Museum, however following an early arrival, what a welcome!! felt like I had a dose of anthrax. EM Branch who appear to do nothing during the year (can you find a post in Minor Matters that explains their activity) tried to bag the prime location and made others who arrived earlier feel uncomfortable.

Last event I attend.

It wasn't "moderated" - I simply said that I didn't understand it. Have another look - it's a little incoherent. Sorry

Went today to the tram museum had a good day apart from the weather, didn't arrive until about 10.45 was however made to feel welcome, every one was friendly who I spoke to.

I had a good day too. Never been on a tram in my life - and after that hill Im going to choose next ride on the flat! Weather didn't seem to stop everyone climbing into the cars and driving up and down the street. A lovely sight about 60 cars mostly with lights on with the trams as well. It looked like one of those period postcards come to life. Recomend it for next year.

Hi Ricky

It appears you have some issues with the East Mids branch - you say they "tried to bag the prime location" - this had been prebooked well in advance for their branch cars and gazebo for their charity Tombola and space for the Marie Curie Daffodil Car. There was plenty of available space at the "Town End" and elsewhere. I was with them for a large part of the day and find your comments baffling.

You also say that the Emids branch appear to do nothing all year - well you obviously have never been in contact with them as they are a very active branch - up until recently they held 2 meetings per month, organise regular trips out and club stands at various steam fairs/rallies etc.

To say this is the last event you will attend I'm afraid shows what a true enthusiast you are.

Post by **Judge** » Wed Apr 23, 2008 6:06 pm

That's exactly what I am hoping a lot of people will do

I will post details of the route shortly. Hopefully others will be able to join us for at least a part of the run.

Remember, if you can get sponsorship for the Million Mile Challenge, so much the better.

Ricky,
Having done some further investigation I have found that in fact your original post was not moderated and/or deleted. It can be found under the heading 'Drive it Day photos', as can biggingers reply.

Bill.

It already says that on this thread

Not really, but that's just my perception. Please let's move on.
