1968 and all that 24 May - 1 June 2008

I will be there on the 24th of may.

Can't wait as it will be my first trip to see the NRM.

Anyone else going?

 

Those of us who were there, both at the various "ends" and at the opening of the NRM itself, will be interested to see what today's politically correct interpreters have to say about what we got up to - and how wide of the mark it is.

The sociological side of 1968 was up there with the events.

 

I'll be there at some point, well whenever I cba tbh.

 

It's worth remembering that the NRM's top man "was there."

 

looking forward to it \/

 

Question

Do students count as concessions for this event?

And a point to note, if you only want to buy one ticket, its more expensive to advance book than pay on the day! All down to an unbelievable £1.65 postage charge!

 

I doubt it ben, no one seems to do concessions rates these days.....pour example my membership fees up 12 quid just because I'm a year older...

 

Sounds good just got my train tickets through to York for 31st May.

For our friends from the south \/

 

thanx

 

Okay, following an email from the NRM I can confirm concessions are for under 16s and over 60s only, and also carers but not the cared for.

Have been advised that tickets are cheaper via ticket web in advance (unless you only want one in which case postage makes it more expensive!)

 

I May go just to jud people \/

 

oh god, I'll probs run away to Scotland then Jud!

Only joking!

 

I'll be there! (Two days)

Sir Berkely will definatly be there and I will be with it over the bank holiday weekend. Please if your visiting come and say hi as it would be nice to put faces to names.

At least that list dosn't call 49 a Hunslet or a "J94"!

I can see some people getting very tired of telling people that it's neither!

 

I noticed that aswell. Hoping to get a closer look at it over the weekend as I want some pics for a model project.

No.49 arrived today and will be dragged to nrm tomorrow with Oliver Cromwell
