Shropshire with Black Haddock, ? Brum with Sarkynortherner, RichtheVillain, Minutman/Chez Sophie - 6-8 Oct - Nottingham pubs & fest with chriso, fonefan - 9-10 Oct - IMBC with RichtheVillain, Nocturne 11-12 Oct - second opportunity for Shropshire, Black Country, Chez Sophie 13 Oct - drive to LHR for early flight on 14 Oct Whew.

Message Leighton P beers 33717 º places 1204 º 09:02 Mon 9/7/2015 Let me just clear up a few things for you, Gene. 1. The Bank Holiday was back in August. 2. You’re in London and only seeing Chris? What about the rest of us? 3. It’s RichTheVillan. He’s not a bad guy. Hope I get a chance to see you.

Message Scopey P beers 24184 º places 727 º 09:09 Mon 9/7/2015 Wow that’s some trip. Hopefully see you in Londinium on 30 Sep or 1 Oct....
Message SarkyNorthener beers 5200 º places 142 º 10:15 Mon 9/7/2015 If it fits in with Gene’s plans, on the 11th or 12th October I am planning on driving him around the Black Country pubs, Sarah Hughes, new Sadlers place, Ma Pardoes, fownes etc. Richthevillan has bagged a place, so that leaves 2 places if anyone is interested.

Chris & Ruth are my kind but unsuspecting hosts. I hope to see lots of folks. I haven’t really planned that part of the trip yet, mainly deferring to Chris. The only thing on my to-do list is to visit a couple of top 50 places I missed on my last couple of trips - mainly Craft Beer Clerkenwell & CASK. Thanks for clearing things up, my spelling mistakes included!

Happy to meet up around then.
