Chip Shop Run 2023

John Earp sent this report:-

After a busy day looking after our four year old grandson I was glad that it was the chip shop run in the evening and we hadn’t got to make an evening meal.
I’d been watching the weather report and it was showing possible rain on the night but although it was cloudy and dull the rain stayed away.
Just before 7 pm Richard Ballard explained to us that we’d be using the drop off system and John Renwick would be back man on his Triumph. He also said we had to be at the chip shop by 8 pm as they were staying open just for us.
Soon we were on our way out of Burton towards Barton, over the A38 to Walton and Catton Park.
Through Edingale to Lullington, Botany Bay, Linton, turn left at the roundabout to pick up the A444 at Castle Gresley and back to the chippy. It is now called the ‘Urban Chef’ and some not taking part in the ride were already waiting.
We now had time for a chat over our meal and then it was time to go. Thanks to Richard for organising the run, John as back man and the ‘Urban Chef’ for staying open. John
