Shildon Bus Rally is this Sunday 22nd. Held at the Locomotive museum. Don't expect it to be a massive turn out.

Last time I checked the museum website, a week ago, I didn't see any mention.

I'm assuming we don't have to book a place, since it's outside, though?

Tickets are easy to book, you get a QR code in an email which you can opt for morning or afternoon admission.

Give a little donation to help them if you can, they're still not quite trampled on by the science museum yet.

Yep. I've done that. Thought it was worth mentioning though so other people don't turn up and find themselves disappointed.

The NRM in York is one place that won't be going back to out of principal.

When I went a couple years back, despite it being free entry, we still had to queue up and go through some tills where they try and embarrass you into giving them money. It started off with the old "Do you want to buy a guide book", when I said no, they then tried to get us to give them a 'voluntary donation', when I then said no to that they acted as if I'd just killed their child! 

I thought there would have been a way in that bypassed all that shite, but apparently not! I'm sure it wasn't like that when I went a few years before that.

One thing I can't stand is people/charities begging for money, if you advertise something as 'free entry' then the first thing you do is try and get me to buy something, or ask for a 'voluntary' donation, they ain't getting a penny from me, no matter how good the place is.
I don't mind on the way out, but certainly not before I've even seen the place!


Anyway..... back somewhat on topic. I didn't realise websites that looked like theirs still exist!

Pleased you did as I may have considered going as some other plans I had for that day may have fallen through.

Think I'll give it a miss this year considering...

Sorry not willing to book to visit a rally. This is a clear breach of my civil liberties.

Will not be attending this year.

Maybe if no one turns up they'll get the message.

As for charities, whenever I'm stopped l just ask for confirmation of the chief executive's salary before I make a donation. If it's greater than mine the answer is a flat no to any request for money.
