I missed this because I’ve been on holiday but Thursday was Mud Buggy racing in Saltley, Birmingham. This is the second year we’ve been, and I’m told better because the karts are new, and faster! A good showing of members meant an exciting night of racing.

Thursday 27th August

Met at the Keys for a swift pint before heading to Birmingham and the Glee Club. Cracking night of stand-up comedy with a good compare (Kevin McCarthy) and the usual mixed bag of performers. One outstanding (Paul Thorne), one really painful and one good. All accompanied by the Glee club buffet and a few jugs of beer (other than the mini-bus driver!). Swift couple of pints in Broad Street then back to Penkridge.
