Social trips 2012
Saturday 25th Feb 2012

A trip to Bristol. Day trip to explore the city pubs.

Sunday 25th March 2012

Sunday Vintage bus trip - Derbyshire.  Becoming a regular first day of BST fixture this! Ripley, Ashover, Matlock Bath and Holbrook, but any other suggestions welcome.

Saturday 19th May 2012

A trip to The Chilterns "fancy pub name tour"  . Looking a starting off at the "Land of Liberty, Peace and Plenty" at Heronsgate, Herts (just off the M25 near Chorleywood). Then to the "Royal Standard of England" at Forty Green, Bucks. Then to the Whip Inn at Lacey Green, and the nearby Wheel at Naphill, who are holding a joint beer festival that weekend.  Might have time to fit another place in, so again, any suggestions welcomed.  Chiltern Brewery has quite a good shop for "take-outs".

Saturday 7th July 2012

"The Seasider" Hull and Cleethorpes.  A much requested trip to Hull, where there are some good pubs in the historic old town. Cleethorpes has two "refreshment rooms" on the station and the Willy's brewpub.  A nice summer seasider!
