Informal club meeting
Thu, Dec 27th 2018 at 7:30 pm - 10:00 pm
For this in-between Christmas and New Year slot there was no FORMAL meeting but a few of us had an informal get-together in a local hostelry. See page for details.
We met at John Franklins, adjacent to the Derngate and Royal theatre complex, for a (big) bite to eat. of cheeses and cold meats. The plan was to move on to The Collective maulebrewing.com/maule-collective-bar. Dominic had both emailed and rung them beforehand to check they would be open - they weren't! Nor was Foodies a bit further down Derngate, so we poppped in to the Mailcoach which had live music, and no one tending the bar, so we gave it a miss, hopped into my car (there were only four of us), and headed for the Malt Shovel, which has long been a personal favourite for its choice of beers and character. The welcome was as friendly as ever, but the four of us outnumbered the staff.
We had a few 'sherbets' and headed for home c. 10pm, having had a good natter and put the world to rights.
