Well, as people already seem eager for the 2017 season, let's look at it shall we.
The first one in the North East area for the large majority is the 500 Group's Teesside Running Day.
The date is presently set for Sunday 23rd April 2017.
As with the past two years, our Bristol VR H106 and Dennis Loline 99 will be attending. More will be revealed as it becomes clear.
Expect the usual attendees (if you have been before you know the regular line-up) with local independents and the large operators sending vehicle along even if only for static display.
Is there any more info on this? How to get there, when it starts etc?

The event is next Sunday.
There is currently 18 vehicles booked in to do runs - this is subject to change right up until the start time and indeed until the end of the event. Including static vehicles, there will be 26 vehicles.
The first bus is expected to leave Stockton High Street about 10.15 and the Transporter at 10.30.

It's a window of opportunity I've managed to miss at previous 500 Group Running Days I've attended.

Just to remind everyone that it is
tomorrow.
Like last year, I will try and post what is in attendance as they arrive - plus what vehicles will operate what runs. Might be handy to plan your day then ?
Of course, programmes will be for sale from the Control Vehicle at the Transporter site.

Fantastic day out today. Think everyone heard me a mile off, with the coughing and spluttering (apologies!) Always think that the 500 Group Running Day is one of the best organised, and most enjoyable, events in the North East. You're never standing around too long before the next bus is there to take you on another journey, and there's always a great variety of buses in attendance.
Thanks to everyone who brought a bus or contributed to the rally today. Let's see how Spillers Wharf compares next week!
