| 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 ! |
