Beware of the plague if its the same place or was that a few years ago. Enjoy the run out, bit overcast  at the moment.

 

Lovely part of the world.

 

Bob :d

[Geoffrey Carter (Buttercup)]

Morning. The plague was at Eyam.

[Martyn Vann - Warwickshire AO]

We will be heading up to this meeting from Tamworth/Lichfield, probably via the A515. If anyone wants to join up with us we could arrange a suitable muster point or points according to your location.

Mixing my 11ams with Eyams  :d

[Geoffrey Carter (Buttercup)]

If you get chance, look round the plague cottages and look at the dates of the people who dies that are over the doors.

 

Lot of information in the church also.

 

Would have been a lot worse if it was not for the vicar, William Mompesson who suused out about isolation.

[Trevor Little (Trevturtle) - Treasurer]

Yes .. hopefully the engine and gearbox will be back in by then and the car will need a shakedown run before cadwell the next day ..woo hoo!

[The Molestrangler]

That's my birthday, if the weather's OK then what better way to celebrate.

[Martyn Vann - Warwickshire AO]

Just a reminder to anyone wanting to join us 

[Stu Faulkner]

If the weather looks good I could meet on the A515 around draycott or Sudbury.

Any idea at a time if your going that way?

[Martyn Vann - Warwickshire AO]

Aiming to arrive in Ashbourne for 10.30 so will leave Tamworth approx 9.15, passing through Draycott/Sudbury about 40/45 mins later.
