Lockdown

Friday 15th May 2020

This lockdown situation is having a devastating effect for some of the Lads
It is playing mind games with them, not being able to go on adventures together as been a great struggle for some of them.
Meanwhile others have been more relaxed about the situation they have found themselves in,  through no fault of their own.  To compensate for this Dave has put together a short  video content of some of their smiling faces just to help them through this difficult time.

































































Cheers Lads.  Sorry video will not upload, just these few photos.

  Wednesday 6th March 2024.               Birthday Bash at Horbury Today’s outing for the Lads will consist of a trip to the small town of Horbury and visit a local Inn named the Shepherds Arms all in the aid of celebrating 2 of our colleagues birthdays, those individuals being Malcolm and Mark, accompanied by John, Colin, Derek, Glenn, Keith and Dave. A meeting time of midday was arranged along with a pre booked table reservation courtesy of Derek. Some Lads travelled there by train and bus whilst others came by car. Our group of eight assembled in the car park awaiting for the entrance doors to be opened, it was a much colder day than the previous two days , so waiting around wasn’t what we expected, however the doors eventually opened and we were soon seated at an appropriate table close to the bar. Drinks were ordered and the menu browsed over with various conversations now taking place, some few minutes later the waitress began to take our individual selections of meals etc. More

Out and about 2016

           Elvington  Air Musium  The journey to this location starts with a bus ride from Leeds to York. Once in York we walk a short distance to Merchant Gate. This is where we catch a local bus that will take us to the museum, this journey taking about 35 minutes.The driver dropping us off at the gates. From here it's just a short walk to the admission hut. After paying our entrance fee and given a brief description of what to expect, we are left to explore this nostalgic setting at our own pace. The general layout is much of what it would have been like in the WW2 era, but now with quite a number of modern additions to its airborne craft.  As we wondered about the old accommodation blocks, you get a feeling of what it would have been like for the personnel who were stationed here. Lots of photos and memorabilia on display along with the various aircraft of that time. The large hanger alone was worth the admission fee. A great adventure was had by all.  The local

Ambling at Anglers

 Wednesday 20th March 2024.                  Ambling at Anglers On a day that was predicted to be rather wet, we were rather fortunate not to contend with any serious downpours of rain as we walked around the lake here at Anglers Country Park. This is a location on the outskirts of Wakefield near the village of Crofton. It was a group of six that would venture out on a wet morning to converge on this location, their means of getting there would involve various modes of transport, John and Colin by train and bus , Derek, Dave and Glenn by bus, Keith arriving by car. Their journeys not running smoothly though. The 196 bus at 10:51 from Wakefield to Anglers was cancelled so a ride on the 195 was substituted only to find out that this particular bus didn’t go the full route to Anglers, it dropped off John, Colin, Derek and Dave at a bus terminus in Crofton and await the arrival of a 196 bus to continue their journey.  In the meantime Glenn took a car ride with Keith to the car park at Angl
