About Us
The club
was formed in 1984 with the support and encouragement of United Automobile
Services, and continues to flourish with the help of the successor companies
under the name Arriva North East, including Arriva
Members are kept informed
by our recently upgraded monthly publication "The United Enthusiast" containing vehicle and service news of Arriva
North East, articles, letters, book reviews, comment and details of events. There
are also major articles, usually historical, and the newsletter provides a
platform for members to share the results of their researches. Publication is
towards the end of the named month, and by courtesy of Arriva each issue
usually contains the Company's vehicle allocation sheets for that month. Paper editions now feature colour covers, while electronic editions feature wider use of colour photography.
Meetings are held at
various locations, and excursions are organised from time to time to places of
interest.
New members are always welcomed
and we have members of all ages and from various social backgrounds, united by their common interest.
