I am thinking about organising a days drive based around North Shropshire taking in Ironbridge, Wroxeter, Much Wenlock and Wenlock Edge and possibly ending up at Cosford Aero Museum in the early afternoon for coffee and a mooch around the displays. If you have not been to Cosford it is an eye-opener even if you are not in to planes the way they are exhibited is stunning. Entrance is free subject to a parking fee which is currently £3 for 3 hours. Cosford is just off the M54. If you think you might attend please post on here and i will set about planning a route.

Their prices are very reasonable and at the time of my visit to arrange our pit stop the menu was :-

Big breakfast.............£6
Veg and mince..........£5

Baguette & chips......£5



Saturday Evening Meal
The Saturday evening meal and get together is provisionally booked at The Swan Inn, Wynbunbury between Crewe and Woore, Cheshire. They have a small function room that we can use. The pub has a website. Their menu is due to be changed very soon and when it does I will require firm numbers of those attending, a pre-order of starters, main courses and sweets and either a deposit or payment in full depending on what the pub requires. I have asked to be seated at 18.30 so that those that do not want to be out late can get away handy for an early night.

We are probably looking at splitting into two groups so I will need a volunteer to lead a second group and as it is early days and others might join possibly even a third and fourth group.

Anywhere is too far for you at the moment with your zed being a non runner, I tagged you so you can come as my passenger.
Don't you just love a bit of father and son banter =))

Thanks for the replies everyone, good to see a couple of locals on board. I will set about sorting out the date and route and aim to have it firm by the end of November.

Here we go then it looks very much like it's a goer so time to start delegating, peteslag I wonder if you could ask about reserved parking on the day at Cosford so we can all park in a pretty line. Obviously no idea of numbers yet but there are acres of room there so hopefully a few Z's will fit somewhere?
Initial thoughts are that we meet at Prees Heath Cafes where the A41 and A49 split near Whitchurch at 09.00 on whichever Sunday we choose, or we could make it a Saturday run if the majority want it, but I reserve the right to have the final say. (The power is going to my head already.)
g8jka and son I am hoping I can call on you to fine tune the route once I have a working draft to fine tune. One volunteer is worth three pressed men they say but I will need help so I am volunteering you two!
Anybody else who wants to come along please add yourself to the list of possibles.
Thanks
Tony

I'll nip over to the museum and ask when I get a chance.

*EDIT* It shouldn't be a problem but I will need numbers before I enquire. Ta.
