Ford Factory Vist Summer

[PintoBill]

When we went down to Southampton last year there was a invite extended for us to return to the Final Staff BBQ being held at the plant in July, Was this ever followed up or are there any plans for us to go down ?

Funny you mention this, we where talking about this a week or so back... Sadly nothing has been arranged for the closing day (25th July) and it could be a bit tight to arrange something now, Ive lost the contact details, so if anyone has them to hand let me know and I will see what we can do. I know that it will be limited numbers, so we may have to limit this to 2 models of each marque

i was thinking about this today and was wondering if anything was planned and mealic did you hear back from matey who did our tour didnt he say summit about the tour in a magzine or summit along with pic of all us horrible lot ?

[mealic]

I will get in touch with the guy again at the factory.Didn`t get anything back from the press release Originally he said the more the merrier .Will let you know what happens.

I was hoping to see a copy of the Ford News

It closed today according to my mate down there

[mealic]

Factory not closed until late July.Spoke with Barry today and there is now no big closure celebration as talked about previously.It was thought a good idea a few months ago,but with 750 or so losing their jobs it was considered to be a no,no.Petervanlee is arranging a factory visit and this will be a few weeks before the closure date.
I did try!!

shame but, im happy to go on another tour again....any news on picture taking...as i know the guy said it was because staff diddnt want to be photographed..but what if its empty when we visit....or is it "dont want people to know whats inside..competition ect"

[AlanN]
