Christmas Meal 2009
Something different for our Christmas meal this year. A trip to the Zagora Morrocan Restaurant in the city centre. Excellent food and great fun with a belly dancer...

Weekend Away to Criccieth. October 2009
Another successful weekend away for Fentham to North Wales. Most of the members and partners made a journey on one of the railways in Portmadoc and some even managed a free ride on the footplate. After our evening meal on the Saturday, we were treated to a special cabaret. Eighty strapping chaps from the North Wales Male Voice Choral Society sang their hearts out for ninety minutes. Excellent!

Weekend away to the Peak District. October 2008
About twenty five members and friends travelled to Castleton in Derbyshire for the annual weekend away. Although we had the usual Fentham weather on the Saturday, Sunday turned out bright and cold, ideal weather for landscape photography.

Outing to Blists Hill Victorian Town, Ironbridge
For once, the rain held off and we were able to enjoy the attractions of Blists Hill, which included a display of beautifully restored Victorian showman's caravans. The working replica of the first steam locomotive also proved a popular subject.
