Wirral Mid-week Drive 10th May
Nine members in four Wolseleys took part in the mid-week drive round the Wirral Peninsula.
The first stop was New Brighton before they headed for Royden Park where they swapped roads for rails on the Wirral Model Engineers Railway round part of the park. W.M.E.R host Alan Pennell gave most of the members a new experience by letting them take the driving seat on the engine to have a go at driving the train round the track! The day out concluded with a great meal at the Boat Inn at Park Gate. Many thanks to Alan for the driving experience and to Bob Leyland for organising a splendid days run and for ordering the glorious weather.
Ian Ashcroft at the controls Alan takes over
