Potteries Connection 2008
25th October 2008 to 26th October 2008

The Potteries Connection 2008, was held on 21st September and was again blessed by glorious weather. Once more it was held at the Gladstone Pottery Museum in Longton, which provided a great backdrop for photos.

A varied selection of vehicles provided trips to several places for those whose wished to ride. I had journeys out to Cheadle, Trentham Gardens, Stoke and the Foxfield railway.

An excellent day out - see you all again next year !
