With reference to Colerne dates. Most Colerne dates will be Sundays. There may also be some evening weekday events during spring and summer.
Any queries - give me a call - Dave on 01179672323 or 07714153377
Since the security has been increased ( July 2025 ) everybody attending Colerne is required to attend at the opening time and remain on site until the finish time. There is no longer a combination lock on crashgate 4 - the guard has to be called out to open the gate at the listed start and finish times. Awkward but necessary.
As from August 27th we now have the option of an extra opening time of 2pm ( fixed)
thus allowing members to turn up at 11am or 2pm. Also allowing members to arrive at 11am and leave at 2pm. Those arriving or leaving at 2pm must meet at Gate 4 and then call the guardroom to request admission.
To check opening dates/times and contacts for Colerne click on Colerne Calendar on the home page
In December ,January , February there may be Colerne days when the weather is favourable and a keyholder is willing to open up. Members will receive an email advising them of such events and they will also be added to the Colerne Calendar.
