Hi all, Some of you may remember that I was organising a trip to BMW Killingholme for earlier this year which was put on hold as the facility was not ready. However I have now had confirmation that the facility is fully up and running and ready for our visit which is scheduled for Friday 5th October 2018. The tour will start at 10:30 and should last between 1.5 hours - 2 hours with lunch afterwards. You will need to be at the car park for 10:15. Post code is DN40 3DZ. Please note that photography is strictly prohibited at Killingholme. This is open to all club members. You can read up a little bit about Killingholme here: http://humberbusiness.com/news/bmw-motors-into-the-humber-estuary/story-4047-detail/story If you are interested in coming along, please can you indicate your place below by replying? There are only 15 spaces available but if it proves popular, I will try to increase. The facility have kindly agreed to
offer a free lunch to us all so please can you also let me know if you would
like to stay for lunch and if you have any dietary requirements. I have also PM'd everyone from the previous topic to alert them of this new trip/date. Depending on the weather, we are advised to wrap up warmly as the dockside can be a little harsh on a poor day. 1). Mani SH Edited by MSH99 - 28 Aug 2018 at 10:02pm |

Big thanks to Mani for setting up this visit.

Thanks Mani for arranging today and inviting us all along. Really interesting with friendly and knowledgeable hosts showing us around their facility. They genuinely came across as a very happy and well looked after workforce from the office to the shop floor. The day topped of by a very good buffet lunch and a few gifts for us all to take away. (Wouldn't let me take the new 840D home though)

I’d like to endorse Paul’s comments, thanks Mani, the day provided so much more interest than I had expected and certainly felt we were treated like VIPs given the amount of time they were happy to give up for our group. Great to meet you all from far and wide too 😃🚙 Look forward to seeing the group pic

A great visit, we both really enjoyed it. Really surprising how much w eek actually goes into it. Far more than taking cars off a ship and loading them onto a transporter.
Many thanks Mani for taking the time to organise it. |

Thanks everyone! It
was my pleasure and great meeting you all :)
Yes it was a fantastic show and tour by the team at Killingholme of an amazing facility. As soon as I have the group pic, I'll post it up (it will be in the club magazine too). For anyone who would be interested in a
tour of the facility, I will be arranging another tour so please keep an eye on
the forum. Kind regards, Mani

100% worth the journey and hotel cost from West Sussex. A unique opportunity, well organised, efficient, informative, friendly and something that I had never seen or been to before. Thanks its was great.

Mani, any chance it would be possible to visit the Southampton facility, might suit some of the members in my area and the SE?

Mani, can you also let Tim Maltby the Wessex regional chairman know as I mentioned it to him and he is very keen to organise something.
