K J SERVICES / FFROS- Y- FRAN VISIT

[martyn williams]

I am organizing a trip to K J's with a strong possibility of a visit to the open cast at Ffros y fran.I need to know asap how many of you would be interested.This will be an ACMOC event but I think if we had a few non members tag along there would not be a problem.
Please let me know if you are interested.It will be a Saturday in March.date to be arranged.You will need to bring protective footwear and high viz clothing also a hard hat.
This could be a very interesting event.

Both places are close to the heads of the Vallleys road A465 .K J services are at the top of the Rhymney valley.They carry out major overhauls of heavy plant including engine rebuilds. Ffros y Fran open cast is a couple of miles away.
The plan is to split the day between the two sites.Will post directions.We will most likely meet up at K J' s first.
