Past Group Highlights

The Centre has been host to many groups and activities; a recent example being The Jaguar Enthusiasts' Club London to Brighton Jaguar Run organised by Jaguar World Monthly.

The event took place on 26th April 2009 and was blessed with glorious weather. All participants came into The Centre for their stop-off to take a well earned coffee break, play with the exhibits, join the Telescope Tours and, most importantly for some, find answers to their Treasure Hunt questions.

Almost 300 Jaguar cars were parked in front of The Centre at one time and the copper telescope domes proved a perfect backdrop for the marvellous array of cars.
In conjunction with The Royal Photographic Society SE Region a Family, Fun and Photography Day was held on Sunday June 28th 2009.

There were photographic competitions for 3 age groups with prizes for the best image taken on the day.  The winning photos were subsequently displayed at The Centre and can now be seen on the RPS web site.
