AUGUST 28 ROSSETT VILLAGE FESTIVAL & DRIVE
Rossett Village Festival Committee have invited our Area back again and would like us to do a procession through the village aiming to arrive at 12:05 at the Festival.  The coach park at the front would again be available and there would be room for up to 20 carriages.  They have asked if I would take my carriage into the main arena for a 10-minute demonstration and talk about everything involved with BDS.  This would raise our profile and hopefully people will come around the carriage to talk to members about their turnouts. Leaving at 13.00 for a drive in the afternoon before returning to the parking area that is to be confirmed

SEPTEMBER 1  

EATON HALL CARRIAGE MUSEUM 7pm – 9pm.

His Grace The Duke of Westminster has kindly given permission for 25 members to visit the Eaton Hall Carriages Collection. 
The carriages in the Eaton Hall collection give visitors a good idea of the range of horse drawn vehicles one would be likely to have encountered in a country house stable-block a century ago. The best London coachbuilders and local firms such as J.A. Lawton & Co. of Liverpool and
 Chester 
and Joseph Cockshoot & Co. of Manchester made many of the carriages in the collection.

The cost of the visit is £6.00 per person
