Stafford Traditions

[ben0239]

I was reading in the newsletter on Thursday about a group of Scouts who used to build Go-karts and then race them around Stafford. This sounds like great fun and would be something I would want to be involved in if it was ever to make a return.

What past traditions/events can you remember in Stafford and what would you like to see return?

No CCTV on Cannock Chase is there ()? So you can dog away to your heart's content

 

[John Marwood]

There are hidden cameras on The Chase actually

These are in the main to capture people dumping rubbish

Bob Marley, Keith Moon, Phil Lynott, etc playing in town...

"dumping rubbish" isn't a term I've ever used for it

Boating on the river would be jolly - though no doubt fraught with impossible danger.

The return of public executions outside the Gaol would no doubt go down well in some quarters.

I've had many happy summers floating around at "Sandy bottoms" on a tractor innertube! Happy days

I see the Rangers floodlights have drifted downstream quite a bit in the wake
