Wedgwood Centre and Froghall Canal Trip
The above mentioned trip has been arranged and it is hoped that
full support will be given to this "day with a difference"!
A coach has been reserved for us to leave from the Rotunda (Birmingham)
at 0945 am to arrive at the Wedgwood Centre by 1105 am. A short film will be shown followed by a visit to the factory and museum.
Crafts made at the Centre may be purchased at the Wedgwood Shop. There are limited facilities for the purchase of refreshments but
it is suggested that packed lunches be taken for consumption on the journey, if desired.
We leave Wedgwood at 1300 hrs and travel
to the Caldon Canal at Froghall Wharf. There, we have arranged to have sole charter of the horse drawn barge for an afternoon cruise
through the Churnett Valley. (This valley has no public road access for almost five miles). During the cruise we shall be served with
afternoon tea, with scones, jam and cream.
We rejoin the coach again between1700 and 1730 hrs for the homeward journey, and are
due back in Birmingham around 1830 hrs.
