Tyneside
Carrier Deck Weekend Workshop

Doug Miller

0191-2580824

 Due to traveler trespass and consequent Local Authority access restrictions, the Tyneside Weekend Workshop CANNOT be held at Fulwell Road Arena (north of Sunderland), but will instead take place within a club site near East Cramlington village, about 7 miles due north of Newcastle-upon-Tyne itself.  The date of the event remains unchanged at 5-6 July 2014. The site entrance gate is on the north side of the B1326 road at the east end of the village and has Ordnance Survey national grid reference NZ 285772 (most easily found on OS 1:50,000 Landranger map No.88, grid ref. 285772).  This is a temporary arrangement as the Fulwell Road Arena site is hoped to be available again in 2015 onwards.  Please contact Andy Housden on 020 8541 0186 for any queries associated with this change
