Wishing everyone a Happy 2024 - when it comes - from Billy and me - and our OBs - and asking that you SAVE THE DATE for a fantastic event - the Bedford OB 85th Anniversary. It will be held at the Transport Museum Wythall - with lots of surprises and things going on - and as many OBs there as possible - hoping to break the records set at the 70th and 75th anniversaries held at Luton.
An event to really look forward to.

Look at this post on Facebook https://www.wythall.org.uk/eventdays.asp?

More details shortly - but - Save the dates now -- Saturday and Sunday 18th - 19th May 2024 - plus it is possible to arrive earlier and stay later. Safe parking available - and lots of activities and transport planned.
Various hotels in the vicinity. This promises to be a wonderful event - make a holiday of it!

Please share with OB owners, drivers and enthusiasts not in this group - thank you.

Event is on Wythall’s website - with brief details to be updated soon - need amending on the site however.

The dates to save are definitely Saturday and Sunday 18th and 19th May ( not Sunday/ Monday)
