WHOTT will be holding its 4th running day in Dorchester on Sunday
12th August 2018 from 10am to 4pm.
We are
pleased to announce that following a very successful Bere Regis &
District running day at Dorchester in 2017, WHOTT will return there
in 2018. Further details will appearing in enthusiast
publications and rally diaries leading up to the event. Due to
limited space, this event will be mainly a running day but we can
accept a small number of static exhibits if booked in advance.
Please indicate on your entry whether you are willing to run in
service, if so for how long, and whether you need a local conductor
to show you the routes. Advanced enquiries for bookings can be made
any time by contacting us at
rally@busmuseum.org.uk.
The
event will be run in accordance with NARTM’s guidance notes on the
operation of free bus services (revision 3 dated May 2013) and
anyone not already familiar with this should contact WHOTT before
completing the application. It would be particularly good to see
entries that represent vehicles once owned by the independent
operators, of which there were many in the southwest, although we
welcome all types of vehicle and from all areas. WHOTT will enter
its 1938 Bedford WTB, formerly operated by Taylor’s of Exeter,
restoration of which is currently nearing completion.
Vehicle Entry Form
With your participation
we look forward to making the event even more enjoyable.
Many thanks, Robert
Crawley, Chairman, WHOTT.
