Meet in the Old Contemptibles around 6.30pm
Onwards to real ale & lumpy cider!!
hap and Phil arrived on time to start the celebrations. We were joined shortly after by Tone who was on a 'dry-one' for the evening (a six week sabbatical form the ale). We had to wait some time before anybody else turned up and Phil was starting to worry that we would be the only ones!!.
Dave and Andy, two of Phil's mate arrived later in the proceedings and we were then joined by Dave, Louise, Nige and Kitty to make up the numbers. After plenty of ales in the OC's we headed up to Edmunds for more ale and general chat. Trev and Jacqueline (I think) arrived also during this time. Tone at this point had got fed up with Coke and no Bacardi so had bailed early.
Final port of call was the Victoria for a few more beers before Phil had decided he had had enough, Chap and Phil lobbed out for a taxi commenting on how quiet John Bright street was these days compared to the halcyon days of the mid 80's early 90's.
