Our Weekend Away this year (October 23^rd to 26^th 2009) was to the Isle of Wight. This turned out to be an exciting mix of beer, music and stunning scenery. On the last day we visited the Island’s Steam Railway. Please click on the photo right of “Waggoner” at Havenstreet for more photos and details of the whole weekend.
We enjoyed two Autumn walks. The first also involved cycling, and was centred on the Great Western at Blockley on 19^th September 2009. The second on 10^th October was centred on the Seven Tuns, Chedworth. On this walk we waited patiently for a tail ender to catch up, who was walking at a snail’s pace. Photo right!
Thanks to all who attended the 2^nd Beer Festival in Moreton-in-Marsh on September 25^th & 26^th 2009 and helped to make it an even greater success than last year. We hope you all enjoyed it as much as we did. Please click on the 1927 vintage Bentley right for a full Festival Report. The car is being ably driven by our Branch Chairman to kick-off the Saturday session in glorious sunshine.
