Chubbster Posted October 30, 2011 Share Posted October 30, 2011 Hello all, Planning on taking a trip to the REME museum, whats it like? Anyone been down there lately? It's about an hour and a half traveling time for me. Is it an hour walkround or a few hours? Any info will be great Cheers Alex Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chubbster Posted October 31, 2011 Author Share Posted October 31, 2011 Thanks for the replys Is there more than one REME museum? The one I'm on about is next to Arborfield Garrison? Cheers Alex Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andym Posted October 31, 2011 Share Posted October 31, 2011 Arborfield is the main museum, Bordon is the reserve vehicle collection. I went to Arborfield with some friends a few months back and it took most of the morning. Well worth visiting, I'd have liked to see a few more vehicles but they just don't have the space!Andy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
woa2 Posted October 31, 2011 Share Posted October 31, 2011 It's a good museum with plenty in it. It will be missed when the garrison closes down and the museum moves in a few years time. There is a bit on VW as the REME helped after the war in salvaging the company. They sell good baguettes and coffee there - £2.20 for a baguette and £1 for coffee. There is an event planned for June 16th 2012 at the garrison, but I don't know any details yet. When I hear something I will put something on HMVF. Enjoy your visit, but leave 2-3 hours to take it all in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

woa2 Posted October 31, 2011 Share Posted October 31, 2011 Thanks for the info guys. Does anyone know if the reserve collection is open to the public etc... Cheers Alex No, it's not open to the public, but you can organise visits from clubs. How about organising a visit by your local MVT/IMPS/whatever to visit? Not sure of a contact name, but you could ask when you visit Arborfield - try asking Brian Baxter (mention my name). Robert Davey Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
