Branch Diary
- Wednesday Wanderers - Tilly Triangle
Wednesday 27 August 2025 12:00
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.
