North West Midlands 27th November Meeting

I have received disappointing news from Nicola, our host at The Bell Inn, Brewood. A decision has been made by the brewery to sell the property and therefore the last trading day will be 17th November. This means we need to start researching for a new meeting venue. I think we all know this will not be a quick and easy undertaking.

 

To get us through to the new year, Graham and Sue Neeld have very kindly offered their services in providing a venue for Wednesday 27th November. Wheaton Aston Sports and Social Club, Post Code ST19 9ND with function hall, large car park, and a staffed bar has been booked for our exclusive use. Please take care when travelling to the venue and ensure that you approach Wheaton Aston via the road by the The Bradford Arms public house. Other roads into the village are riddled with nasty potholes.

 

For the cost of £6 per head all of the above will be provided with the addition of a buffet. Some extra creative thought should conjure up a bit of entertainment to avoid having to solely listen to me prattling on during the evening, so that’s good isn’t it! 

 

To help Graham and Sue with the organisation of the evening I ask you to express your intention to attend. Before signing off this forum posting I would like to express my sincere thanks to Nicola and all her staff at The Bell Inn and wish them the best of luck for what must be testing times for each and everyone of them.
