Deere-est Posted November 8, 2010 Share Posted November 8, 2010 Awaiting an email fron the UK offices after speaking to a chap in Italy regarding a tour of New Hollands' Basildon plant. I'll be looking to Jan - April for a date, very possibly a week day. Under 16's are not permitted on the tour, apologies to those under 16. Nothing is comfirmed yet but in the first instance, who is interested in coming along? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FordTractorCrazy Posted November 8, 2010 Share Posted November 8, 2010 the friday before Spalding wouldnt be an option i guess? otherwise you could have counted me in Would love to visit Basildon someday , but regretfully only a 1 day visit to England isnt possible inbetween .

Tractorman810 Posted November 8, 2010 Share Posted November 8, 2010 mm that would be a good idea actually, do that friday, on up to spalding then a few drinks, set up saturday, show sunday and home? trissy? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deere-est Posted November 8, 2010 Author Share Posted November 8, 2010 I had already thought of that Another member willing to travel the distance PM'd me and I have aired the idea with them too. It would make a good FTF Weekend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tractorman810 Posted November 8, 2010 Share Posted November 8, 2010 it would actually, but clearly we would need to book the spalding hotel for friday night, unless we go to one in that area?? then drive on saturday Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FordTractorCrazy Posted November 8, 2010 Share Posted November 8, 2010 Lord almighty will keep an eye on this subject FTF weekend for Spalding sounds perfect. I always spend 3 days in England in the weekend of Spalding, and no matter what date this will be, i'll be enjoying the countryside for a couple of days. I would guess a few of the foreign members might actually be very interested to, if they could combine it with the Spalding show in April.

The Tractor Twitcher Posted November 8, 2010 Share Posted November 8, 2010 I'd be very keen to make the trip down and if it could be tied into the same weekend as Spalding so much the better, that sounds like my kind of holiday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deere-est Posted November 8, 2010 Author Share Posted November 8, 2010 Thanks for all the encouraging replies. I am waiting on some sort of contact from the UK arm of the brand now. Once I know more it will be posted up but in the mean time, keep expressing interest!! :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robbo Posted November 8, 2010 Share Posted November 8, 2010 I would be interested if it was the Friday before Spalding. Tris, I would suggest that when you speak to your contact at the factory that you ask what is the largest party size that they can accommodate at one time, they may have a limit on Health and Safety grounds.

Deere-est Posted November 8, 2010 Author Share Posted November 8, 2010 They do but I don't know what it is yet. However there is no minimum so if you like I could put Udi on his own?!! :laugh: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
