Friends of King Alfred Buses
THE ORIGINAL KING ALFRED BUSES RUNNING DAY
Our major event for 2020 was planned to be The Original King Alfred Running Day on Sunday 3rd May. However, due to the many uncertainties associated with the coronavirus outbreak we have very reluctantly taken the decision to cancel the event. With the amount of organising effort that has already been put in, this is most disappointing but we are sure our many friends and supporters will understand that in the present circumstances we really saw no other course.
We very much hope to be able to provide a vintage bus running day in the autumn, probably as part of Heritage Open Days. More details will be provided as and when it is possible to make a firm decision.
We understand that for similar reasons the South East Bus Festival at Detling on 4th April, the Brooklands Spring Gathering on 5th April, the Xelabus Open Day on 19th April, the Bill Targett Rally on 9th/10th May and the Alton Rally on 19th July have also been cancelled.
Friends of King Alfred Buses featured in a BBC South 'Inside Out' programme on 26th March 2020. It is available on BBC I-Player for four weeks. Note that the King Alfred item is the third in the programme.
