Rob Aley has kindly written about the men’s group outing on the 7th November evening to Wapping and recalls the evening’s events.
After meeting at Laindon and travelling to Fenchurch Street, where we met with others, we had a very interesting walk through the old East End to Wapping. This part of London has changed immensely and been refurbished beyond recognition, however many of the old landmarks still remain intact.
Well not quite but over 30 people came along for a fun night out at Romford Grey Hound Stadium organised by the men’s and women’s groups. It was a fantastic evening, the track conditions were excellent and we all had great seats in the Paddock restaurant overlooking the back straight. Looking around you could tell the ones who knew what they were doing and the rest of us making our winning choices on obscure rationale such as some distant memory related to a dog’s name or was its tail up or down when it came out!
2011 programmes for the Mens group and the Ladies group are now available.
We have set up an E-mail group for mens and ladies events. Everyone on the list will be informed of forthcoming events via e-mail. If you are not already receiving e-mails from the St John’s and St Mary’s groups and would like your email added to the list, please email hurleyjuk (at) gmail.com ( Jill Hurley) or hurleysuk (at) gmail.com (Steve Hurley).
