Drayton Manor Park

It seems that the younger you are the more fearless with it. On Saturday 28^th July, we went with the Junior Church to Drayton Manor Park to have fun – stomach churning, gut wrenching fun! Only it was often the youngest amongst us who were ready for the thrills and (not to many) spills that were part of the adventure. We all paid to get in, even if it was only to spend the day acting as umpire and holding coats, lunchboxes and accessories for the those game for the rides. Personally I think there’s something to be said for paying NOT to go queasy but there you are – each to their own. And if you wanted to prepare to meet your maker there was ample to choose from – Apocalypse (a superfast, openair lift that drops you out of the sky), Pirate Ship (a real sense of being out on the open seas – bring your own paper bag) and for those who just like getting wet Stormforce 10 (shooting around up and down in a lifeboat). Thanks to Hilary and Anthea for organising the day. Any suggestions for next year? Please forward.
