The 40th anniversary of the Group’s founding at Wightwick Manor has fallen during the Covid lockdowns. After a couple of belated attempts a fairly small and intimate gathering was held in a field adjoining the grounds of – not the Wolverhampton manor house – but Benthall Hall, Broseley near Ironbridge on Sunday.
The sun shone, as duly expected on the righteous and a good time was had by past and present members of the Group who attended the festivities.
There was much cake, as expected, also more than a fair amount of sandwiches, pork pies, cheese, pink fizz, quiches, samosas, sausage rolls,…need I go on.
Check out this link again for more photos appearing on this page to record for posterity of all those who were there!
So here’s just a few….
Not just one but two special cakes (..how much can you read? ….tip: link with the coloured sweatshirts below..)
Getting going…
People watching….
Food, food, glorious food….
There was a bit of speeches (thanks Mr Chair and Ranger Al from NT) and silly games (thanks Dave)
Reminiscing;… and just a few of the Group’s clothing variations over time on view on the day (check with that cake…)
