Message From Ray Kirby - Social Secretary
I’ll start this time with an apology to all those members, (and our guest speaker Nick Tegerdine) who turned up to the last two branch meetings (Bunkers Hill and the Grosvenor) for the lack of beer (most of it had gone by about 10pm) and the shortcomings on the staff side. This is not typical, so please don’t let it put you off.
Maybe, partly my fault for not reminding the hostelries in question (but I’ve never had to previously) I certainly will be in future.

The forthcoming mini bus survey trips are as follows, October, will see us visiting Lowdham. November will take in Sutton Bonington, Wysall & Widmerpool and in December we look at Newthorpe Common & Hill Top.

The bus trip to Derbyshire villages took a full mini bus, so, flushed with success, I’m doing some Leicestershire villages in November.

In October our membership secretary will be doing a walk through Creswell Crags finishing in Worksop, see page 12 in this magazine for details.

Don’t forget the end of year trip, Monday 29th December. I have no firm destination as yet, but full details will be in the next Drinker at the end of November. This is always popular and I have a few names already, so let me know if you want to go.

The CAMRA beer census is on Friday 3rd October. Briefly, there are 11 routes; Beeston, Basford, using the tram, Lenton/Radford, West Bridgford, Sherwood/top of Mansfield Road, Sneinton, Meadows, North Sherwood Street/bottom of Mansfield Road, Canning Circus& 2 routes around the city, starting at 6pm ending at the Roebuck around 10.30pm.

Quite a few people have taken me up on the reminder of up and coming trips and other events. The best way of contacting people is by e-mail, but due to the data protection act, you must give me your e-mail address. So I am producing a very short form, which you can use. If anyone wishes to “subscribe” to this new service, then please ask me when you see me or get in touch and we will sort out the necessary details.

See the diary dates column for times and dates of all the trips, socials etc.. As usual, don’t forget, that EVERYONE is welcome to any CAMRA meeting or outing, you do NOT have to be a member. I might present you with a membership form, but you can ignore it if you want, (most people usually do!) And as always I can be contacted electronically at: - raykirby@nottinghamcamra.org
