| | West Midlands Mensa - Lichfield Weekend - 8/9/10 June 2001 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-10) |
 | | Lichfield, where history and the countryside come together, is an ancient market town brought carefully into the 21st century by a succession of planners who have striven to blend modern convenience with the splendour of many Medieval, Tudor and Georgian buildings. |
 | | On one hand Lichfield's famous 3-spired cathedral recently celebrated its 1,300th anniversary, yet close-by is Drayton Manor Theme Park, home, amongst many other attractions, to the famous or perhaps infamous 'Shockwave', 'Apocalypse' and 'StormForce10' rides. |
 | | A private guided tour of Shugborough Hall, home of Patrick, Earl of Lichfield, followed by a three course dinner in the Grand Saloon of the house, followed by an after dinner speech and drinks on the terrace. |
