Dear Fellow Members,
I have arranged a visit to the Control Tower at Greenham Common. It is open to the public and volunteers offer tours for contributions only. 
I propose the following agenda, but it is totally flexible and if you can only come for a short time, no problem, it will just be great to see lots of Lancia and/or their owners.

11.00 - Arrive at the Control Tower car park & time for coffee
11.30 - Tours of the Tower start
13.00 - Lunch break in the café or outside, weather dependent.
14.30 - Drive back onto the A339 heading towards Basingstoke and turn left into the Greenham Business Park at the first entrance, go straight across the first roundabout then take the second or third turning left, then the next turning right. Then turn left into the car park before the English Provender Company between the former Combat Support Building No 273 and the building called Venture West.
Then, if you would like a short walk, head along the gravel path going north-west through the gate (see location plan) onto the common. Follow the main path for two hundred yards until you reach the main ‘runway’ path and turn left to walk down to see the bunkers (these were the cruise missile shelters, recently seen in the latest Star Wars Film).
15.30 - Visit Greenham Common Women's Peace Camp Memorial on the way out via Main Street. There is a car park opposite the Jaguar/Rover garage before the A338 roundabout.

Please let me know if you are interested in coming so I can let them know approximate numbers to ensure they have enough bacon for the rolls - optional of course!

Hi Chris,

I just wanted to thank you for organising a great day on Saturday.

It was a very interesting place to visit and well worth the trip.
It does also have something of an atmosphere, evocative of the 1980's cold war era.

I also had a good blast back up the A34 in the B20 on the way home!

Nice to meet you Charles, lovely Aurelia. Many thanks for organising the day Chris. Scary time in the cold war.
