Our first Thursday night out this year will not be a carbon copy of last year. Yes we went to the Roaches and had a great time but hopefully we won't have awful roadworks in Leek this year and we can sort the parking a bit better. We will meet again on the Winking Man […]
You asked for it and I am happy to be able to say that I have had the okay for a private visit to this wonderful local mill. Have a look at their website below. Please pay your fees on the night as they will be going directly to the mill. Additional donations welcome. The Flint […]
Our now annual trip to Trentham Gardens is always very popular and, as we go in at night, cheaper than at other times. There's plenty to photograph and we even managed last year to not get anyone locked in....which is always a bonus. Costs and opening times tbc when they put them up on their […]
Yes, I've done it again! The trip to Gauntlet is many peoples' favourite outing of the year as we get a private visit to this wonderful sanctuary. We get our own private flying display, the chance to visit the other animals they have there plus the chance to shoot birds of prey sat in their […]
We have had Vikings at the club before so now it's time to take them outside so they can pillage and rampage in their natural surroundings....if a Norman castle is natural for them anyway.... With weapons of unfathomable size and chainmail that would stop the Hulk in his tracks expect to get some amazing pictures! […]
Let's have a wander round the historic town of Leek in the Staffordshire Moorlands. There's a link to the website below and there's quite a few historic buildings, Brough park, churches etc to photograph all close to each other. This car park is free: Staffordshire Moorlands District Council Market Place Staffordshire Moorlands Leek ST13 5HH […]
Another club trip, another coach to book and probably the same driver going to the wrong place... But....GORILLAS!! Costs and times tbc but we will be leaving from the car park at our old home, Bentilee Neighbouhood Centre, ST2 0EU.
With a lake, many fountains, wonderful gardens, statues, works of art, old buildings and a barefoot walk amongst many other things this is always a fabulous night out. Meet just over the bridge from 18:45 onwards. Parking is free but you will have to pay to get into the gardens-prices vary depending on age etc […]
This week we are going out to The Roaches and having a wander round near Hen Cloud. We will be meeting up in the long layby on Roach Road; turn off the A53 at Upper Hulme and follow the road past the tearooms. The postcode is given as ST13 8UB and the What3Words are political.redeemed.smirks […]
Trentham Gardens surely needs no introduction from me....so I won't.... Tonight they are open until 9pm so it's a perfect time to visit, particularly when prices drop after 5pm-I have messaged them to ask how much it will cost. I have heard back: This year the evening ticket will be available after 6pm priced at […]
With a model rifleman! Yes, not only do we get to visit this wonderful building but we also have a model booked for you. His name is Chris and he works at the hall but usually in 21st century attire....I presume.... Tonight he will be dressed as a rifleman (you can ask him when his […]
Yes it's finally time for our first night out of the year and, as is traditional, we are heading up to the Roaches. We will meet where we usually do which is on the road by Hen Cloud. I'll sort out better directions beforehand. Note-don't park on the grass verges as they're a bit hot […]
Our next day trip will be to Cannock Chase. Details of when and where to meet will be sent out in your club emails soon. There's lots to see and do. Car parking is far from free and is £10 for all day but the money does go to look after the forests.
