daleheywoodtanks Posted July 21, 2014 Share Posted July 21, 2014 This is an open invite to all members. Heywood Tanks are having a yesteryear festival again, in Heywood, North Manchester. All proceeds will be donated to spring hill hospice. Last year we raised £21,000 so please come along and help us do better this year ! There will be at least 50 military vehicles trying out the new, and extended tank track. The event will be on a 100 acre plot that is dedicated to military vehicles and all the entourage that travels with them. Guests are encouraged to bring their vehicles for a 'run-out' Camping is available for exibitors. There will be entertainment for all the family, with many static exhibits, large Fairground, Vintage cars, craft stalls, tombola and beer tent. Photo's of last years event will be added to this thread gradually. Get your 40's dance steps practised for the evening big band party at Churchill's Bar Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daleheywoodtanks Posted July 21, 2014 Author Share Posted July 21, 2014 The venue is reached easily from the M62 at Junction 19. Its the Junction with a tank parked there ! Head towards Heywood, turn left at petrol station, go 500 yards, turn left at lights, go 500 yards, and turn left into the venue where you see the sign. If you are bringing heavy metal, please confirm a booking and let us know the time you will be arriving if you require any assistance unloading. We can off load for you if necessary. We can accommodate low-loaders on site for deliveries. We are already receiving vehicles ! A Booking form will be posted soon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only if transport can be provided, we were hoping that you still had the big low loader but I understand that has now gone. No problem with a ride in the M746.
