04 Sep 06 - 05:41 PM (#1826937) Subject: Good Intent Rochester From: growler The GI is holding a beer festival 30th Sep-1st Oct, to celebrate the racking of their traditional beers in the bar.A session hosted by John Barden is happening on Sunday lunchtime 1st. Unfortunately the chippy has let him down, so the racks won't be ready, but the beer will |
|
04 Sep 06 - 05:55 PM (#1826948) Subject: RE: Good Intent Rochester From: GUEST,Tone Deaf Leopard We can come. Never mind the racks, as long as the beer's there. Why have we had to go back so far to read this? Where is everyone? |

Looking forward to doing this one as the governors are lovely people and really support f**k music. Hope to see as many of you there as possible. I won't be able to partake in the various ales though as I'll be the one who's driving - damn!! John Barden |

10 Sep 06 - 06:32 PM (#1831436) Subject: RE: Good Intent Rochester-beer festival 30 Sep-1st Oct From: Richard Bridge Dead Horse was speaking of hell. Tenterden is not hell (unless the Appalachian dancers are interfering with the sound you need for Morris, or people talking over you or jogging your elbow as you try to play) |

10 Sep 06 - 09:20 PM (#1831551) Subject: RE: Good Intent Rochester-beer festival 30 Sep-1st Oct From: GUEST,TDL That's all right then. No plans for going to Hell just yet although we could have a brill session there when we all meet up. |

So can go right up to it. It'll be very hot though- all them banjos and accordions on the fire! |

28 Sep 06 - 09:02 AM (#1844939) Subject: RE: Good Intent Rochester-beer festival 30 Sep-1st Oct From: melodeonboy I doubt that that report is very representative. I wouldn't say that it's architecturally the most beautiful pub in the world, but it's perfectly all right inside, particularly in the saloon bar where the music events are held. They have a good beer garden out the back, they always have a good selection of well-kept beers and the landlords are very welcoming and foster a friendly, relaxed atmosphere. They also put on a lot of live music. The event in question is, I believe, to celebrate refurbishment of the pub, including setting the beer barrels up on racks; sounds interesting! If in doubt, suck it and see! Give it a try this weekend. If you're there at the Sunday afternoon singaround (John Barden's), I'll see you there. |

28 Sep 06 - 11:38 AM (#1845080) Subject: RE: Good Intent Rochester-beer festival 30 Sep-1st From: Dead Horse Thats alright Richard. They couldnt possibly call what you do "singing" :-) |

28 Sep 06 - 03:21 PM (#1845303) Subject: RE: Good Intent Rochester-beer festival 30 Sep-1st Oct From: growler Yes Richard, Folk is Sunday afternoon only. I havn't got a blue clicky, but if you find Rochester Police Station, go past the front, straight on ( almost ), at the T junction and as John St goes to the right, it's on your left. |

28 Sep 06 - 04:08 PM (#1845327) Subject: RE: Good Intent Rochester-beer festival 30 Sep-1st Oct From: Richard Bridge Yes, I know where it is! And I (at least) know what singing is!! |

01 Oct 06 - 03:41 PM (#1847718) Subject: RE: Good Intent Rochester-beer festival 30 Sep-1st Oct From: Girl Friday Hope the bald dog didn't fight with the other two. Sorry we didn't make it today. Mumbling Len is living up to his name... been ill for most of week.... fever subsided but so has voice. I've got a nasty allergic rash from who knows where, so decided to go to A and E this lunchtime. My G.P. had incorrectly diagnosed excema, and prescribed hydrocortizone. This made the condition worse. Am now on antihystamine for a fortnight. Hope the singaround went well. |

01 Oct 06 - 04:25 PM (#1847740) Subject: RE: Good Intent Rochester-beer festival 30 Sep-1st Oct From: Richard Bridge Yeah, lots of people have trouble with eczema - it's usually the spelling... You missed Dead Horse, and it seemed a little firebucket burned his bobstay through, so social diseases must be the theme of the day. Essex Girl was nursing a bad throat, but it seemed the medicine helped, taken in a pint tankard... Annie and Fay were too hung over to drink (never seen that before). Kenneth Ingham and the Roundhouse Cowboy got lost again... Little Legs cried off. Kevin the Shirt Murderer had to leave early, his mother's birthday party, and Growler also had to leave early because his lift (his son) was going. Wolfshead and Vixen had their AGM and then left without coming in. But we had quite a nice time. |

Great afternoon, and thanks to all for coming. The Landlords are wonderful people and I for one would like to thank them for their hospitality - not many like them left. John Barden |
|
02 Oct 06 - 06:58 PM (#1848740) Subject: RE: Good Intent Rochester-beer festival 30 Sep-1st Oct From: Girl Friday Sorry we missed it then. Six fifteen would probably have been the latest we'd have left too. I'm still suffering... seems to get worse about 9 or 10pm. Think it may be a worsification of my latex allergy. |

09 Oct 06 - 05:02 PM (#1854381) Subject: RE: Good Intent Rochester-beer festival 30 Sep-1st Oct From: The Barden of England It's so good to have supportive Landlords like these. I'm already looking forward to this one, and hope that as many as possble mark it in their calendar. John Barden |

09 Oct 06 - 05:55 PM (#1854443) Subject: RE: Good Intent Rochester-beer festival 30 Sep-1st Oct From: melodeonboy I'm just licking the tip of my pencil to write it in. (By the way, why do/did people lick the end of their pencils before writing? Answers on a postcard, please). I second wholeheartedly your comments on the landlords, John. While we're on the subject of the Good Intent, let's have a bit of blatant self-promotion: Jumbo Gumbo - Kent's newest zydeco band - are playing at the Good Intent on Sunday, 22nd October at 6.30. Be there or be square! |

09 Oct 06 - 06:25 PM (#1854467) Subject: RE: Good Intent Rochester-beer festival 30 Sep-1st Oct From: Richard Bridge What's a "plow"? Do they use them in the USA? Licking the end of the pencil enables a blacker line. Trad. |

26 Oct 06 - 08:55 PM (#1869569) Subject: RE: Good Intent Rochester-beer festival 30 Sep-1st Oct From: Girl Friday This is sounding rather good. I just asked Trevor if taps were better than hand pumps - apparently so. On the subject of licking the pencil tip. Pencils were originally made od lead, and needed licking to get them to write. The downside of this was, of course, lead poisoning. |
