Visit to Houses of Parliament
Nineteen members of Tangent and SLK enjoyed a superb Spring day in London, spending more than 2 hours in the Houses of Parliament. As you may expect, security was very tight when entering the Palace of Westminster, but despite one or two false starts waiting for Dick & Nina, as their journey from Solihull was disrupted, we all got safely through.
Spring Walk
The final SLK walk of the 41Club year, the Spring Walk, took place at Cannock Chase when 22 intrepid walkers turned up, which included a full complement of Andrewarthas (7 + 2 dogs). We had such a mixed bag of weather ranging from hail & sleet to bright sunshine, that it could easily have been the Summer, Autumn or Winter Walk!!
Table Ladies Night - 7th February 2009
Held at the George in Solihull, with a live band - the New Originals.
The theme for the night was the Jungle Book, as James is an Akela for the Cubs. The formal part of the evening began with the Top Table guests processing into the room ...
Strasbourg TripOn Saturday 10th January twenty one members of Shirley Late knights left Birmingham International Airport for the first leg of our international trip.
Christmas
PartyThe Christmas Party was held at the (almost) usual location at Downing Hall in Knowle.
Wales
WeekendAn enjoyable (if tiring!) weekend of mountain biking, mountaineering (I'm sure Cader Idris has grown in height over the last 15 years or so!), swimming, pubbing (of course!), and cribbage. The next morning it was raft building, a steam railway ride, and another (much gentler!) walk! All in all, a typical enjoyable weekend away!
