Former Wedgwood director, Denis Austin poses before his old boss Josiah's statue. |

Centre members enjoyed a Sunday run starting at Alsager and
wending its way through the lanes of Cheshire and Staffordshire for
around an hour before arrival at the main Wedgwood factory situated in a
delightful village to the South of Stoke on Trent.
Organiser's Denis and Margaret Austin had arranged a fascinating tour of the world famous porcelain factory. The pre-recorded information received by headphones made the tour all the more interesting and the inevitable visit to the factory shop topped off the visit, at least for the ladies.

An E type lurks amongst the Healeys, can you spot it? |
|
It's that man again. |

|
BBQ and Balinese bed pergola. |
A drive back to Alsager and an
enjoyable barbecue in the lovely gardens of our hosts, the Austins,
rounded off another successful club outing.
The edifice in the background of some of the pictures is a DIY pergola designed to cover a Balinese bed. What one does with an outside bed in the English climate sets the imagination racing. |
|
Now we're cooking. |
That September sun's a bit strong! |
|
A steady hand or the tower will tumble. |
And finally, a farewell wave from Bernard.
