"Brass Monkeys at the Station" Land Rover meet, Shildo
n Railway Museum Co. Durham
By: StuartN Date: September 1, 2016, 7:34 am
---------------------------------------------------------
Hey up,
Way back in January 2015, NERO (North East Rover Owners) hosted
a Land Rover meet at Shildon "Locomotion" Railway Museum.
The event was deemed a success with 47 Land Rovers of all
varieties in attendance, including a sizeable number from this
parish.
The decision has been made to hold a repeat event on SUNDAY 22nd
JANUARY 2017 and annually thereafter.
The museum is free to enter, so when you have bored of Land
Rovers (or more likely when your bollocks have frozen off) you
can go in the museum for a look round. It is one of the best
railway museums in the country and is part of the NRM. They have
a good little café which serves hot meals and snacks etc and of
course full loo facilities.
Last time round it was an excellent day for meeting up with
people you don't see often and meeting people you have not met
before, whilst having a casual look round all manner of Land
Rovers before heading in to the museum for a hot cup of tea.
The meet will be right outside the main doors in the square, so
do not park in the car park.
So the details are:
Sunday 22nd January 2017
Provisional time 10:30 onwards
"Locomotion" Railway Museum, Shildon
DL4 2RE
Further information to follow closer to the time.
I hope to see you there!

Hi all,
We are now less than a week away from the do this Sunday.
We have convoys coming from all over, with interest from lots of
different groups.
It would be great to see as many of you as possible.
If anyone requires any more information let me know, but once
again the details are:
Shildon "Locomotion" NRM
Shildon
DL4 2RE
Turn up from 10am
Fantastic free entry museum once you get sick of Land Rovers or
the cold.
Cracking gift shop and café etc.
I am hoping to top 100 Land Rovers this time so bring your
friend(s)!
Cheers

Thank you very much to everyone for coming to Brass Monkeys at
the Station today. I am very happy indeed to announce that we
managed 123 Land Rovers of all types and 1 Austin Gypsy! We have
also raised £61.62 for the Great North Air Ambulance and I am
confident the museum donations and Cafe takings will be
significantly higher than the average Sunday in January! I have
thoroughly enjoyed the day and I hope you all have too. I look
forward to seeing you all next year for an even bigger and
better Brass Monkeys!
