Aaah, what memories!!! I still have my raffle prize from the first meet somewhere. If I remember rightly it was on a Sunday night. The Oak Tree was dangerously close to running out of beer as the bar staff did not know how to change a barrel. Tealeaf came in and saved the day by changing it and the beer flowed all night. There was a little buffet with sarnies and jammy wagon wheels. We all wore a name tag that night because some of us had never met and we thought it would be easier than just having to keep introducing ourselves over and over again.

Of course, we don't bother with the name tag thing now. I can't read or speak after a few Strongbows anyway, so there's no point for me. After the first 'meeting' where there were only a few of us, the meet ups have taken off and attract quite a crowd..........We even have a mascot..
