Sadly I can;t make this, as I'm moving house this weekend! I hope you enjoy your evening, though. :-)

Thank you! It was a wonderful play; very dream-like in places and completely capturing the ambience of small town life (and death) in a bygone era.
I heartily recommend it to all.

Pushes open his crypt door and reanimates.......
Sorry for being a bit quiet, it looks like I've missed a few good meets as well. Am I right in thinking that the next event is the steam rally? I shall definitely try to get to that one!

Problem is, so many things have been cancelled with the weather, or pushed around date-wise to miss the mudbaths, that everyone's losing track (Mine sank in a quagmire 'bout four weeks back  ) |

Persons intending to travel by open carriage should select a seat with their backs to the engine, by which means they will avoid the ashes emitted therefrom, that in travelling generally, but particularly through the tunnels, prove a great annoyance; the carriage farthest from the engine will in consequence be found the most desirable.

I was referring to the Hanbury rally on 10th August, but having checked the website ( http://shakespearesrally.com/Hanbury.htm) , it seems that the event is cancelled.  |

Facebook event here: http://www.facebook.com/events/377688198932230/Last year's event was an absolutely cracking day out so much to see lovely people to chat to, plus a BBQ and beer tent run by the folk from the Saracen's Head (the venue of two previous WMSA Winter meets). Heartily recommend it, and a lovely spot in it's own right. |

looks interesting and is also my birthday weekend... Can't quite work out where it is, though- website doesn't load properly from my phone. Is it accessible by public transport?

Not easily, but we can organise car-sharing.

Considering how much time I spend in the Coventry/Birmingham area, I'm sure I'll be able to make one of these soon!

There is an Pharoah exhibition on at Birmingham Museum & Art Gallery, Victoria Square that looks quite interesting (thanks for bringing it to my attention Steve!)
Anybody up for a trip to see it one of the Saturdays?

Provisional date for the visit to the Pharoah exhibition is August 25th- the Saturday of the Bank Holiday. How does this suit everyone?

I regret that due to my recent move of home, it's unlikely I'll be able to attend anything in August - my finances are in A&E at the moment. I also have no internet connection at home until early September, so I can't check on things very often. However, things should start returning to normal in the Moore household during September.
Do take care and have fun, everyone, in the meantime!

Hoping very much to come along on one of the days, but my grandmother is very seriously ill, so I may need to dash up to see her at short notice |

We had hoped to be coming to Spetchley, but we have a jaunt back to 1485 booked for this week end. Maybe next year…

The trip to the Pharoah Exhibition at Birmingham Museum and Art Gallery is still on-course to go ahead this Saturday. General plan is to meet in Victoria Square outside the Museum at around 12.30PM, if this suits everyone.
