Lovely day out for our ladies who told us they would love a drive out in our minibus to one of their favourite places - The Wetherby Whaler fish n chip restaurant.  So off we went for a lovely outing and a trip down memory lane.

A simple day out, but one filled with happy memories and lots of smiles.
