- Wednesday Wanderers - Tilly Triangle

Bellfield Brewery
Well, hopefully a triangle. We'll have to check out the Woolpack before then but as there's new people in charge.
Meet in the Royal perhaps, but we could do it any way round. We'll mull it over beforehand. Plenty of time to do all 3 pubs.
Please contact Brian Cheeseman for any info at ku.gro.armac.yellavhtrof@srerednaw_yadsendew
