Hi Ian
It makes a change (for me) to know a members address. Is the Royal Oak pub still there? Please excuse the memory if I have it wrong, but there was a motorcycle club started there in the mid 60's called The Acorns? Some 50yrs ago!! Aaaaagggh.
Hope you enjoy the forum as much as me.
Pete

The Royal Oak was still a decent village boozer about ten years back: did a lot of dog training in that neck of the woods around then.

It is still there. Been extended a bit over the last few years.
A good pub with beer garden and sells good food at reasonable prices.
(I have no financial links with the place - honest)

Acorns was an AMCA club that used that land together with other clubs later on. Knowns as Gnosal, Knighton and Adbaston, used to watch them as a kid around 76.
