If you do not know, John. T. Grocock is about the most knowledgeable O.P.O driver in Sheffield, On the subjects of local Transport History, and Rallies he is second to none. This page is made up from a few words written by the man himself . The 1156 Group itself is self-financing every member has 1.00 per week deducted from their wages towards the groups finances. Their donations help the group to keep the groups vehicles on the road and pay their running costs.
Costs are varied covering the repairs, fuel bills, restoration work, and tax etc.
Hiring out the buses for Weddings and other requests when the buses are available generates extra revenue. And because I have been asked to give a few lines for the web page, I have decided to give an account of the one of rally outings we participated in early year. The outing was the first we did last year, The journey was a long run down South to the Cobham Rally, Heading into The Capital a chance for other members of the group to have a stroll around the City of London if they wished, There was quite a turn out on the day ,and what a wet and cold morning it was. In the London Area. The morning was cloudy chilly with light rain.
