| Black Country Days Out.In the days when having your own set of wheels probably meant having a bike and holiday was time off work, not a trip to the sea, or sunnier lands, the Black Country Day Out was a highlight of family life. Much of the Black Country had easy access to the cleaner air of the countryside and for the lucky ones in the Halesowen area, the Clent Hills were near enough to walk to, whereas, Stourport, Kinver and Bewdley were a bus ride away, or for the more energetic, a cycle ride. |

| The Race For Life 2008The Black Country Gob Team, consisting of three members Jeullh, Lubberly & MotherHen plus two family members plus The Shifnal Strollers, on the hottest day of the year so far, on the 8th June 2008, took part in The Race for Life. We don't have a final total yet but the amount raised should be in the region of £500.
It was a wonderful experience and we hope to repeat it next year. |
