EVENTS PAST


BEER and CURRY

Burn's Night.

14 SPBW members and friends gathered in the candle-lit upstairs room of the Wenlock Arms on the evening of 30 January. Although they were 5 days late, Robert Burns was celebrated in appropriate fashion: Scotch broth followed by haggis, neeps and tatties were consumed with gusto with a dram or so of Laphroaig to help wash it down. Alasdair Boyd was chef and all agreed that the food was extremely tasty. Some of Burns’ works were read (and even sung, Alasdair again!) and a highly convivial evening was had. As usual the Wenlock had a good range of ales as usual, including one from Scotland (Orkney St Magus), and it’s a real shame that the pub’s future is in doubt.

 


POTY Presentation

The presentation to the Royal Oak was made on 23 January and an excellent occasion it certainly was. Some 20+ members and guests came along and we were also joined by the estimable Miles Jenner (Harvey’s Head Brewery and co-MD) and Leigh Hatts of SE1, a local community on-line newspaper (which gave us some coverage). Miles made the presentation and kindly bought the gathered throng a round. A generous free buffet also appeared, not to mention two jugs of Harvey’s Christmas Ale. Needless to say, all the beers were on top form.

The event was highlighted in SE1, a local community on-line magazine.
