No, not the General Election - yet - but for the Formula 1 championship with the season well and truly underway after the opening GP in Bahrain and this weekend's Australian GP. Time for a word of support for local team Williams F1 who moved to Grove in 1996 from their old headquarters in Didcot. The conference centre situated at the HQ is a unique venue as it also houses the fascinating collection of Williams racing cars. You can see me in one of them in the sidebar photo from a previous event held there.
The site in Grove was previously home to Janssen Pharmaceuticals, but one thing that has remained the same is the iconic avenue of beautiful trees shown in this photo after a winter trim. More news on the team and details about the facilities can be found here. There is also a Twitter feed here, which is useful for coverage of race weekends.
£55 per person to tour the facility OMG, wouldn't it be a wonderful gesture if Williams had an Open Day for the village to thank us for our support (as I'm sure most of us do support Williams wholeheartedly). Why don't you suggest it for us Zoe?!?!
ReplyDeleteYes I agree it would be good to have an Open Day, maybe we shall have to wait for a special occasion like their next World Championship!
