Quiz Night April 26

Another great quiz night. We raised £186.47 for club funds. Thanks to everyone who came on the night, including those who help set up and clear down after. And thank you to Tom Ridsdill who was our quiz master again along with his team of helpers

Black Country Living Museum

We had a great day at the Black Country Living Museum.  The sun shone all day for us.  'The site covers over 250 years of history, from the Industrial Revolution to post-war prosperity. There are over 80 reconstructed shops, houses and industrial workshops, and there are historic characters who brought the history to life with demonstrations in the authentic settings'. Some of us were also able to do the Dudley Canal Tunnels trip operated by the company Skippers.
