We have loads happening this weekend and we’d love to have your help in making it all work.
First of all, we’re having a beer festival with a range of real ales on sale all at just £3 a pint, apart from our regulars Long Man Best and London Pride, which will stay at their current prices. We’ll also have a couple of special ciders and, just to make sure we don’t leave the lager louts out, we’ll have a keg of Budweiser on offer at £3 a pint as well.
The beer festival starts for Club members and their guests on Saturday and Sunday at Noon and will run through to normal closing time on both days. Then on Bank Holiday we’re opening to non-members from Noon to closing time, with an open day to coincide with the May Fair, of which more below. We’ll have tasting notes for the real enthusiasts and we’ll send out a full list of what’s on offer on Friday evening, but to give you an idea you can look forward to some old favourites – Timothy Taylor’s Landlord Bitter and Dark Star’s Original – a fine selection of West Country ales and some new offerings from our regular suppliers Fullers and Long Man. More on all of this on Friday evening.
On Bank Holiday Monday we’re doing our best to sell ourselves to the village. We are serving drinks to all comers and we’d like to sign up new members as well, so we’d appreciate as much help as we can get from current members. We already have volunteers to run two barbies and some rubbish collectors, while we’ll have people working to chat up our visitors. We’d love any further help you can offer while we also ask that members are as courteous to our visitors as they can be. It would also be nice to have some snooker players in, partly to show off the snooker room as it should be, being used, but also to make sure that there aren’t any unwanted incursions by kids.
The Fair starts at Noon and should run to about 4pm. We expect to be busy because the weather Gods are expected to smile on us. If you’d like to be a helper, we appreciate whatever you can give us, whenever you can. We’ll be preparing for the day from about 11.30 am, when we’ll need to get the barbies fired up and to get furniture outside. We also need to give the outside area a clear up and the seating a quick wipe down, empty the fag bins and generally make the Club look welcoming. If that’s all you can help with it will be much appreciated.
And folks through this weekend, have a great time and enjoy yourselves. The Club is yours and this should be a great weekend for enjoying it.
