Booking form

Sunday 16th August 2009
Starting at The Royal Standard of England
                  Forty Green Nr Beaconsfield
                  Bucks.
Bacon Butties, Tea and Coffee will be available prior to departure. A rally plaque, route documents and tickets to enter Quainton Railway Centre, as ordered, will be included in your rally pack which will be handed out on signing in at the departure point.

The route will be a tour of the lesser known parts of Bucks and Oxon, and will be of the order of 80miles. From midday onwards you will be welcomed at the Quainton Railway Centre and directed to a dedicated WAMGOC parking area.

Quainton is the home of the Buckinghamshire Railway Centre. It is ten years since we last visited Quainton as a club and the changes are incredible. Facilities and railway-based entertainment have expanded and improved, the centre is now a great day out for all the family.
Also at Quainton on the 15th and 16th of August there will be themed days of activities relating to the 1940’s.
We are invited to get in the spirit of the period, so thinking caps on!

Lunch can be a picnic, a pub lunch (good pubs en route), or at our destination where hot and cold food and drinks will be available in their new facilities. Drinks will also be available in the 40’s beer tent. As part of the themed weekend period picnic food will be on sale.

For this Octagonal Run we have gone back to basics, a simple navigation tour, plus the fantastic opportunity to explore our railway past and associated social activity.

More details of the 40’s weekend will be available later.
Think about how you might join in the 40’s theme!

In the present spirit of the nation we are making the run a low budget operation, passing on every possible saving to you, our friends. We have a tradition of giving any surplus monies raised to our nominated charity, this year, The Helen and Douglas House Children’s Hospice..
To enable us to help this excellent charity we would ask you to be as generous as possible in our fund raising activities.
