***UPDATE*** @everyone 

Morning all, due to roadworks in the area, part of the pub carpark has been taken up by maintenance equipment. With a higher number of people coming than expected, can some of you please park along Kestrel Road (1st turning after the pub on the left if coming from Stoke/Stafford direction - 200yards down there is plenty of roadside parking) We will all still meet up on the pub car park. Thanks, and see you in a bit 👍
