Let's get down to some serious decision-making!!!!!
The new landlord of the Red Lion will confirm wether he will do the bar for us on both nights. He said it would be easier if he only provided non-real ale brews, because they travel better. He has some "Cloud Nine" at the moment, hand made in Church Stretton, but it needs a few days to settle if it'd moved. You can get it at the pub, and he has no problem with music happening there, but it does get rather crowded on a saturday night.
Paul, the new landlord, doesn't trouble himself much with trivial things like licensing laws and closing times.
Draught Worthington's is the standard brew, so will that be OK?
Cheers, Bron.
