Hmmmm bank hol weekend could be a bad one.....

Its the British Offroad Motorsport Show at Trentham Gardens, and i can't miss that!!!

Come to think of it Roy usualy goes too..

Unfortunately I don't think our good friend Baabara will be able to make it. I saw her today, she is on holiday in Scarborough. She was being carried around by a young man and looked very inflated and happy.

If you don't believe me ask Sparky. We will be going to Whittakers tomorrow night to sample the beer.

WillowTheWhisp · 08-08-2004, 22:34

Is that the pub which used to be called The Cemetary?

WINGY · 08-08-2004, 22:40

Yep it sure is..

There is the Plough up Fielding lane and then the Shoulder of Mutton at the top.The Red Lion up Willows lane has one and then there is the Spinning Jenny.Me i prefer teh Red Lion and the Shoulder of Mutton as its out in the country and you can let the Kids run about.

WillowTheWhisp · 09-08-2004, 09:53

Red Lion? Have you been up there recently?

mez · 09-08-2004, 13:57

Doug · 09-08-2004, 14:46

The Red Lion is now a residential property Mik.

Here's the low down on the Whittakers Arms, courtesy of Lettie and myself.

It would most definitely be suitable for an Accyweb meet-up. The pub is very spacious inside, with plenty of comfortable seating areas. To the rear of the pub, there are some picnic style table and seat combinations, on the edge of an enclosed carpark. Behind this, overlooked by the Coppice, there is a grassed area.
Behind the bar was the usual range of lagers, cider and fizz beer. Most noticeably they were serving three real live beers. Moorhouses Premier, brewed in Burnley; Timothy Taylor's Landlord and a very dry summer ale by the Phoenix Brewery called Arizona. This place certainly gets a thumbs up from me, for the quality and selection of real beer.

HI all, sorry I can't be there but congrads to Roy and family! Time seems to fly by these days and I don't seem to get on here as often as I used to

but I do think of you all!!!!!! sounds like you lots have got round to organise some friendly 'pings' ( term used over here for ****-ups where people that don't really know each other very well but have things in comman) Well done Roy for starting all this!!!!!!!

One day i'll make it back and we can have a 'welcome little-mo' ping!!!!! hope you all have lots of fun!

lettie · 10-08-2004, 06:57

We most certainly will Littlemo. Whittakers also do food, and have a Sunday carvery. For about £8 ish you can have an all you can eat carvery including sweet and ??starter. It would probably be cheaper than our curry bill. I think we should try it sometime.

mez · 10-08-2004, 07:02

thanks spaeks & lettie it seams a good choice so shall we make it the 28th at the whittikers arms, that is on a saturday, no doubt tea will be happy with the real ale,now all we need is a time to meet,?
