Yes I do.

The YDG is always the most popular weekend that the Wirral and North Wales area organise. It started 12 years ago as a 2 day trip, then 3 days, when we found the Highland Moors. The hospitality shown by Sue and her family is immense, as is the breakfast, full Welsh. Nice that we are doing an evening meal with them again, spoilt for choice as always.

Hope the Ridgebourne pub up the road is open, they do a mean chicken madras, and a nice pint of Carling.

John.

The Ridgebourne pub, I wonder if Cheryl  is till pulling pints behind the bar? 

[Mark Redpath - WSCC Membership Secretary]

Last time we went there they went to the garage  across the road for some lager, think the pub has been sold now....

[yellow perilous]
