From their Email list - well worth visiting the factory if you are in London - their drive for engineering excellence is fascinating (as well as their battles to squeeze ever more bikes per annum out of quite a small factory!)
"Dear Bromptoneer,
We would like to cordially invite you to the 2012 Factory Ride and Open Day taking place next month.
Following on from a successful event last year we are again planning a London based ride, starting from a secret location and ending at the Brompton factory near Kew Bridge.
We will lay on some refreshments and a bit of entertainment and, of course, invite you to look around the factory and see production first hand.
Details:
Date – Saturday 14th July
Start Time – 10.30am at secret location for ride (approx. distance 8 miles).
Finish Time – Around 4pm following lunch, entertainment and factory visit.
Cost – To you sir/madam, nothing.
Registration – Please register online for a place on the Factory Ride
We are strictly limited to 100 guests only; based on past form we strongly suggest signing up as soon as possible as places fill up quickly. Details of where to meet for the ride will be sent to successful registrants approximately 1 week prior to the event. Restricted to Brompton bikes only.
We do hope you can join us for what we hope will be a fun day on the bikes and in the factory.
Happy pedalling,
The Brompton Team"
