Welcome
On the 10th April we added a new page showing the activity over the April Bank Holiday weekend. Also you can now download the latest Newsletters here.
On 1st May we added a Photo Album showing the progress with the Barn Project.
On 13th May we added a second Photo Album showing the progress in May 2012 with the Barn Project.
On 17th May we received extra images from the April Bank Holiday weekend including a very interesting display of Guns.
Eagle eyed visitors may also have noticed that the Newsletter was a bit short on content. This was due to the webmaster receiving only one page but, not knowing any better, published it anyway. All has now been corrected so the FULL newsletter is now available here.
The Club
The club started in 1997, it’s aims are the restoration and presentation of old stationary engines, or barn engines as they are sometimes known, including any relevant farm machinery and equipment, vintage collections and memorabilia. We have members with Barn engines, tractors, motor bikes, cars, working and static displays as well as models. For example we have collections of Tilley lamps, old cameras, a collection of milk churns, vintage lawn mowers, wooden toys, blow lamps, kitchen and laundry equipment, working miniature steam, cycles and auto cycles; in fact all things vintage!
Meetings
Meetings are held on the first Friday of every month, except for December, at Woodside Farm, Orton Lane, Twycross, Leicestershire CV9 3HA from 7.30PM onwards. In December the club holds a social event on a Saturday night, attendance is not obligatory, but all are made very welcome – tea and coffee come free of charge. Other refreshments are on sale and a raffle is held to help defray the cost of the evening.
