Old Shaw Lane

Both the Scratch Choir and the Afternoon singers meet at Lower Shaw Farm in in the large dining room at the end of the single storey building (entry via the kitchen).
Road access to the farm is only via Old Shaw Lane. The farm car park and building is along a drive of approximately 15-20 metres - look out for the wooden notice by the
entrance announcing you have found Lower Shaw Farm.
There is a small car park at the farm and plenty of parking in Old Shaw Lane. There is plenty of space for bicycles. Thamesdown Buses No. 19 is the nearest
(Brookfield School stop); Nos. 1 and 1A come along Ramleaze Drive (Village Inn stop) and are only a few minutes walk from the Farm.

Scratch Choir also meets at the Pilgrim Centre in the Swindon town centre. It is at the Town Hall end of Swindon's main shopping centre, near the library, almost opposite
the Co-Operative Bank.
Please Note - The Pilgrim Centre doors are locked at 7.40pm. To the left of the glass doors is a buzzer - please press the button and we will come down and
let you in, but keep trying as we cannot hear the buzzer when we are singing.
If you know you are going to be late please let us know. Somebody will come down around 8pm to check for latecomers. You can text a message to Linda's mobile - something
like 'open the doors' - on 07990 638308; Linda will check for messages every now and again.
We usually meet in the Activity Hall/Worship Area rooms on the first floor of the Pilgrim Centre. There is a lift and toilets (with disabled access).
There are too many buses that go near the Pilgrim Centre to list individually - get off at the same stop you use if going to the library. Commercial Road and the pull-in by
the Wyvern Theatre are the nearest.
There is some free street-parking in the roads off Commercial and Groundwell Roads, and Eastcott Hill with no time limit at the time we meet (beware - do not park in residents
parking). There are lots of car parks near-by all of which at the time we meet charge 90p for up to two hours and £1.80 for over two hours (correct at August 2010).
The nearest are probably Morley Street ('McIlroys') and the Wyvern car parks.
Disabled parking - most use either Temple Street or in front of the Town Hall or the Wyvern Car park. These are also good places for being dropped off and picked up if you
are having a lift.
