Alton Bus & Pub Running Day
Saturday 19th July 2014
As per previous years the Hants & Surrey Bristol RE Group pulled off an absolutely fantastic event which attracted hundreds of people. The trips were very busy between establishments and were all filled with a lively crowd of whom ensured they enjoyed a number of ales as well as the quality vehicles that were transporting them.
The rally has again been another success as proven by a complete sell out in programmes. Take note for next year, this is not an event to be missed! Lively, relaxed atmosphere, great people, laughter, hellfire vehicles and real ale, this event has everything for a great day out.
