Ruby Experiences 2025
Below is a calendar of events we plan to attend with Ruby this year.
Cheltenham Classic Coaches is Sunday 6 July - scroll down for details.
UPDATE 25 APRIL 2025:
Ruby has developed a problem with her fuel system (so the engine will not start).
The fuel pump has been removed & will be sent away for diagnosis & hopefully repair.
Until this issue is resolved, our attendance at the rallies listed below (especially those in early May) is in doubt.
