Thursday the 28th October (Week 44)

Right Lads - we're on the home straight...

So there are officially 9 weeks left of the year and we have 16 pubs still to get visited.  Naturally one of those 9 weeks will be allocated to the WTC Christmas do, which this year (being our inaugural year) will be held at the Wagon & Horses from 6pm on Thursday December the 23rd for food and then on the number 10 bus to Cheltenham for a tour of the top end of town culminating in the winning pub, which currently is the Salisbury. Of course this is subject to change should we find a better pub, but right now, that's looking unlikely.

The following week Thursday the 30th December, hopefully the majority of you will be on holiday and I would suggest a get together in your finest christmas jumpers at probably the Wagon to hold our first proper AGM and plan next years shenanigans - which I'm sure will be more of the same only with better organisation.

However, there's a little ways to go before we reach the 23rd and the 30th and of course that only leaves us with 8 weeks including tomorrow.

The Wheatstone Inn Gloucester

In theory this is two pubs a week. Like that's going to happen ... so ...I'd sugest a Cheltenham Crawl and a Gloucester crawl followed by some mopping up of the stragglers...

Gloucester - Baker Street, Dick Whit, Tall Ship, The Union, Northend Vaults, The Jockey & The Water Poet
Cheltenham - Five Alls, O'Niels, The Somerset Arms
Stragglers - Ridge & Furrow, The Bat & Ball, The Bell, The Double Gloucester, The Wheatstone Inn

I'm sure we have some generic agreement, and I'm suggesting we trying and get the Gloucester run out of the way tomorrow. It's a big ask lads, but you're men aren't ya?

The number 10 to Gloucester to get as close to Baker Street as possible and starting there.... 
Along Southgate street to The Tall Ship (early enough that they'll still be open). 
Across the docks and out past the police station to the lower end of Westgate street and the Dick Whittington. 
Up Westgate street to the Union. 
Onto Eastgate Street and the Water Poet. 
Northbound via the Market place to the Northend Vaults
...and finally Worcester street and Kingsholm road to the Jockey.

Who's in ?

  • Not a bad night I thought. Glad to get to work in one piece, hope to find a quiet corner and have a kip.
  • Until the next time......
