I missed the last one so it has been quite a while for me. Saltaire was the last time I got to one, so it'll be good to catch up. Not sure if we've met paulpj26.

We're going up today for a couple of nights, never been to Lancaster before so should be good.

If you have time you should check out Atkinsons coffee shop, they roast a variety of coffees and do know their beans. They also stock several teas and various spirits (usually some interesting single malts) as well as a few decent beers (it varies but they have had Orval, Schneider Tap 6 (Aventinus) and Brooklyn Black amongst others). They aren't especialy cheap but the stuff they sell is good.

Atkinsons is very near to the Sun. Turn left out of the front of the pub, cross the road at the lights and turn left, walk along the main one-way road (counter to the flow of traffic). It is about 1min walk along. You could probably just follow the smell or roast coffee, or occaisionally clouds of smoke.

Due to the fact that I took a walk down the coast this morning to visit the Adnams Brewery at Southwold, I will not be able to attend

However I will be in The White Hart in Blytheburgh this evening . . . Is it too soon for the old to be on :hmm: :hmm:

 

[Franklin]

We're here already. Cop out! :drunk:

Good to catch up with some people and meet some new faces. Next time no massive drinking session for me the night before...

I'll get to the Halifax meet unless I have a good reason not to. I ought to make the effort having dragged people to my side of the penines :)
