Saturday 18th May finally arrived and the coach outing to Birmingham was upon us. There was a great deal of necessary preparation for the outing this year but it was all worthwhile as a good time was had by all. The weather was kind to us and the sun eventually appeared.

Birmingham was busy but there was a lovely atmosphere. We hope the happy snappers are pleased with their resulting photographs of buildings, canals, graffiti, people etc

Here are some of the snappers on the day.
