Hi all

Maybe slightly out of the area, but of interest.

Have just been past the following information from
David Griffiths, which may be of interest.

Gelligaer UDC 80th Anniversary Rally - Sunday 21st
Sept 2008.
During his tenure as General Manager of Gelligaer UDC,
Roy Marshall was responsible for purchasing three new
Bristol VR's BTX539-41J in 1971,
which were bodied up in Wigan by Northern Counties,
sadly the last of these was scrapped in 2007 after a
bad accident with a garage wall at the premises where
it was being repaired in Bedwas near Caerphilly whilst
in preservation.
However, as a salute to the VR's and to Roy Marshall,
we want to have a major turn out of Bristol VR's at
the Gelliagaer UDC 80th Anniversary Rally on Sunday 21
September.
The event will take place in and around Gelligaer and
will feature bus running as well as everything you
have come to expect from a traditional bus rally.
Please visit the Gelligaer Anniversary page on the -
www.welsh-transport -festival. co.uk for more
information, entry is free and entry forms are now
available or you can enter on line!

Dave.
