A Pram Day ’like no other’ is taking place at the famous Wedgwood Museum at Barlaston S.O.T, ST12 9ER. I am sure this will be an excellent ‘must do’ day out for all pram collectors or for anyone who just loves these beautiful vehicles.

The weather, after a few downpours on the days leading up to the rally and despite the forcast, remained dry, though it was cold and a bit windy. Most of the ladies and gentlemen were in period costume and put on a very good show in the arena, for which as section leader I thank them very much!! |
