SPRING TOUR TO BRANTFORD.
President Rod Nelson has confirmed that providing there will be forty members who would like to spend Friday April 4th on a bus tour from Simcoe to Brantford that the ICCI will pay for the bus, and driver.
The first stop will be at the Waterford Heritage Museum to see a display of Cockshutt machines, memorabilia and archives. Proceeding on to the Cockshutt Road we will have Mike O’Byrne tell us about Ignatius Cockshutts farms and road building. Mike will also tell us about Tutela Heights, and Farringdon Independent Church. Then Rob Adlam will tell us about Cockshutt Park, and the new Walk of Fame.
On to Glenhyrst Art Gallery where we will hope to be officially welcomed to Brantford by His Worship the Mayor, and Lunch. The Canadian Industrial Heritage Centre will be our hosts at Glenhyrst where Rob Adlam and John Kneale, will guide us around the display of Brantford’s industries, the Cockshutt Company and family, with some additions from Bill. Back on the bus Rob will be our guide at the Wayne Gretzky Sports Centre and John and Rob will tell us what is planned for the Verity, and Cockshutt factory sites.
All this and more, plus lunch for $25.00 per person. We’ll answer your questions on the bus and be back at Simcoe around five. If you can join us you will need to call Debbie Irwin at 519-582-2442 to reserve your seat on the bus. I guarantee you a great trip! Bill Cockshutt.
