Wednesday 9th February Ten Pin Bowling

Canada Slide Show: Chris Jackson, a well-travelled friend of Dave P's, spent last summer on a spectacular tour of Canada, and fortunately he took slides! From Calgary to Vancouver and back, including mountains, lakes, cities and oceans, so if you are considering a visit or just want to know what's out there, don't miss this show. Friday 25th to Sunday 27th February Bridges Hostel Shropshire A weekend in a peaceful location in the beautiful Shropshire countryside near Long Mynd. If this isn't tempting enough, the hostel is only 100 yards from the Horse Shoe Inn. It's in the old village school in the valley between the Long Mynd and the Stiperstones. The Victorians called the area Little Switzerland, bottled the local spring water and started to promote Church Stretton as a health resort. (Note that the road from Church Stretton is steep and narrow - better to approach from Shrewsbury via Longden and Pulverbatch) Total cost about £36. Deposit of £15 NOW please. |
