2007 Events

Sunday 9th September - The End of the World and the English Civil War!

Meet at the Golden Pheasant, Plumley at 10am for a 10.30 prompt departure. We will be taking one of the alternative (to the A556!) routes to North Wales, calling on the way for coffee at the Golden Lion, Rossett. Members living on the west side of Cheshire or in North Wales might like to meet us there - we plan to arrive by 11.30 and leave at about 12 (the Golden Lion will be opening earlier than usual just for us!). If you arrive at the Golden Lion before the main 'body' of the run, I suggest you wait in the car park for us.

Then we travel on via World's End to Llangollen for lunch, finally taking a short (but not direct!) route to Chirk Castle (National Trust property - don't forget your membership cards) where the men and women of Syr John Owen's Regiment of Foote of the Sealed Knot will be recreating life during the English Civil War.

Sunday 23rd September - Mold Food & Drink Festival run

Starting from Chester Services on the M56 - Jnct 14, Meeting at 10am to depart at 10.30 am The run will take 1hr – 90 minutes and will take us to the Mold County Hall / Theatre.

Sunday 28th October - via Goyt Valley to The Egerton Arms, Chelford

Starting from the Car Park at Tesco, Macclesfield - just off the Silk Road near Macclesfield Railway Station - 10:30am for 11.00am departure. (NB - Ignore previous info you may have seen about the start being at the Golden Pheasant - it's Tesco's Car Park, Macclesfield!)

The route is a tried and tested favourite through the Goyt Valley and Cheshire countryside to The Egerton Arms, Chelford - under new management and there's the possibility of a 'press' photo shoot - so polish up the car just in case!

Then we'll be taking a long (or as long as you like!) leisurely lunch.
