The Carriage Foundation
The aim of the Carriage Foundation, formed in 1991 under the auspices
of the BDS, is to bring together like-minded people with a special
interest in carriages and their history. Anyone can join the trips we
organise and they will be assured of a warm and friendly welcome from
the group. These trips are interesting and great fun and give members
the opportunity to visit many venues that are not available for the
general public to enjoy.

Carriage Foundation report – June issue
Following the visit to Denmark in April 2007, members of The Danish Carriage Society are to visit England on September 15th – 18th. They will make their base in Bakewell, Derbyshire and I have helped them make arrangements to visit Red House Stables, Calke Abbey, Shugborough & Rabey Castle. Anyone wishing to join the group and renew old acquaintances, on one or all of the visits, will be very welcome. Please let me know as soon as possible.
The annual autumn visit, over the weekend of October 17th & 18th will be to Charlecote Park, Nr. Wellesbourne on Saturday morning, followed by Ragley Hall, Alcester in the afternoon. After Bed & Breakfast at a local hotel we shall move onto The Black Country Museum, Dudley where a full day is planned at this open-air museum where history comes to life.
A visit to Northern Germany is in the pipeline for April 18th – 25th 2010 and if anyone has ideas of places to visit here we shall be pleased to hear from you.
These trips are interesting and great fun, giving members the opportunity to visit many venues not available to the general public.
Let me know if you are interested in receiving details of these or any future trips.
