Events, meetings and occasions
When and where to get involved
Member's Meetings
These are shown in our Members' Section. We hold regular meetings for our members with guest speakers, or sometimes during the summer we enjoy an evening in one of our buses. Meetings generally take place on the second Saturday of each month, at present by Zoom conference call in the light of the coronavirus pandemic.
Events Attending
These are normally shown below, including whether we are providing free rides. However, in 2020 many vintage vehicle events were cancelled due to the outbreak of coronavirus and the prospects for early 2021 are little better. More information will be given when the situation changes.

Micro Running Day 1st January 2021 - CANCELLED! |
|
Following the transfer several years ago of the main King Alfred Running Day to early May we have held a smaller event on 1st January featuring King Alfred vehicles running free bus services over their traditional routes. Sadly, with Winchester entering 'Tier 4' coronavirus restrictions on 26th December 2020 it became clear the event was not possible and the only responsible course was to cancel it. This was most disappointing as it was the first New Year's Day for many years with no King Alfred event in Winchester, a 'fixed point' in the diary for many enthusiasts! We continue to hope that an event will be possible on 3rd May 2021. Any driver or conductor members interested in helping on this day should let Dave Ledbury know. At this stage all plans are purely tentative and will remain so until Government policy regarding 'COVID Secure' at that time becomes known. |
