Title: Seeking interest: Possible Tour of Toyota Altona North Plant
Post by: Evan Bottcher on February 23, 2014, 11:10:52 PM
Hi folks,

I'm trying to gauge interest in a potential tour of Toyota's manufacturing plant at Altona North.  The tours are held during working hours Tuesdays and Thursdays, morning or afternoon, and take two hours.

If you're working, you'd obviously need to take a half day off work to attend - but I'm told the tour is very interesting and I'm keen.

Please indicate interest here, and I'll try to arrange a future date (it will be post-May) and then get more firm registrations.

thanks,
Evan.

I have been through the Toyota Altona Plant three times and highly recommend going there, it really is an amazing place. It will be a shame to see it go. :'(

I haven't been through this plant but I have been through many many automtive assembly plants in my past life in that industry.

for anyone with more than a passing interest in cars this is an excellent opportunity, one that sadly won't be around much longer.

I strongly suggest you sign up

Hi Evan,

Three times there is enough, I'll leave it for the ones that haven't been.

Okay - that sounds like enough interest for me to arrange a date towards the middle of the year, then come back for some firm registrations later.

thanks!
