Right - we are on until Xmas. Starting Oct 9. The reason is that the pub may be starting refurbishment after Xmas and there may not be a room for us to play in. If there is (and it isn't needed for eg restaurant plans) then we can continue. Beer under investigation - watch this space. We may have to go with any real beer that will come in a half-barrel or is on discount for the first one until our consumption can be assessed - negotiations with the brewery on this front cannot really be started until after Sept 19. Vegans are cleared for vegan snacks. I will pre-prepare spuds for the first month, then if restaurant comes on stream they may prefer to sell food rather than give it away!
