We have loads on this weekend and we’re looking forward to seeing many of you in. We have our ale festival starting tomorrow at Noon. We have some fantastic ales ready for you. We haven’t been able to send you all tasting notes as we’d hoped because our suppliers dropped a bollock and very nearly didn’t deliver everything we wanted. But we have our ales up and waiting now and we’ll be running from Saturday through Monday.
On Monday we also have the May Fair on in the park from Noon to 4 pm and we’ll be open to non-members. We want to sign people up as members, so please if you have friends who aren’t members drag them in and make sure they’ve signed a membership application before you let them escape. On Saturday and Sunday you can also bring up to two friends each in as guests to enjoy the festival and we’d love you to try and sign them up as well – show them what a pleasant Club we have and show them our fantastic snooker/billiards facilities.
Also on Monday, we’re running two barbies through the May Fair and we think we may have a couple of volunteers offering gin to complement the ales. The barbies will run into late afternoon and, if you haven’t sampled our legendary burgers, chilli burgers or sausages, you’ll love them.
And what about sport? There’s loads on, starting tonight with Everton-Burnley which kicks off on Sky at 8pm. We also have the Wells Fargo golf and the snooker running through to Sunday night.
Tomorrow our sport start at Noon with the beer festival and then at 12.30 its Bournemouth-Spurs on Sky. We’ll have the usual results on at 3pm tomorrow and you can also watch a top of the table rugby clash when Saracens host Exeter. Then at 5.30pm we’re showing a crucial game for Brighton fans, with Cardiff-Palace on BT1. In the unlikely event Cardiff win, Brighton still have work to do to stay up and Palace fans probably won’t be a bit dismayed by that, but a Cardiff defeat means Brighton can start planning for another season in the Prem. That’s not the end of our sport tomorrow because at 7.45 pm we’ll be showing Newcastle-Liverpool on Sky.
On Sunday we have another 12.30 pm start with the final games in the Championship, with Sky showing Derby-West Brom as their main game but bringing the goals from all the matches. At 2 pm we turn one set of screens to Huddersfield-Man Utd on Sky. At 2.30pm we switch our Championship screen to cricket, with the England-Pakistan 20/20 match. However, at 4 pm we’ll be switching all screens on to the Arsenal-Brighton game.
On Monday we have a quiet day on our screens but at 8pm we’ll be showing Man City-Leicester in the Prem and then in the week after we have European football, Sussex-Glamorgan at cricket on Tuesday and the beginning of the league play offs late in the week.
