Meet by St John's church on Wentworth St at 10.30am.           There is free parking in St John's Square on Saturdays.  There is also plenty of parking on Eastmoor Rd, near to Wakefield Sports Club. Walk along Eastmoor Rd towards town. Road turns left and becomes College Grove Rd. Turn right up Westfield Rd then across Leeds Rd and up St Johns Terrace. Church is just over the A61. Distance 0.5 miles. The good news is that we go past the cars on the way back so people can just drop off at that point.
