With the Christmas festivities now a receding memory what better way to banish the mid winter blues than to come along to our annual branch beer and curry social on Friday 23rd February! Catch up with old friends and new and sample some great beers and food at the same time! We need to know numbers so if it sounds good, read on!

Following the success of previous years and by popular request the format and venues remain the same! so…

The drinks venue is ‘The County’ in Gosforth, a cracking pub that has 14 real ales on hand pull and offers 10% beer discount to CAMRA members! We have booked the back room from 6.15pm – 8.30pm. We can then stagger, next door to the Ahad Tandoori, where food awaits us! Again the format will be the same so a fixed price banquet including mixed starter and 4 main dishes to share. £26ppn

Key Points:
Event; This is a social event, all members and their partners welcome, I am told the County has very fine Prosecco as well as soft drinks, so not limited to just Beer monsters!
Venue: The County, Gosforth High Street, NE3 1HB and Ahad Tandoori, NE3 1HB
Location; The back room at the County can be found by entering the pub from the beer garden side entrance and it is through the main doors and on the right.
Date: Friday 23rd February 2024
Time: Drinks from 6.15pm, Curry 8.30pm, last orders in the County at 10.30pm
Getting there: Buses 30/31 drop off outside the pub and run from the centre of town. Grainger Street stop is best for those that might be visiting the Toon by train. (opposite the station)
Newcastle/Gosforth Accommodation: For those out of town like Cat and myself, why not make a break of it and stay at The Great North Hotel on Gosforth High Street www.greatnorthhotel.co.uk The pub and hotel can be easily reached by bus or Taxi from Newcastle central station so would be great to see anyone not in the immediate area fancying a night out in the Toon! All welcome and the more the merrier!

Contact: Please confirm back to me at gedtell2@aol.com if you are planning on joining us for the drinks and importantly to book a place at the restaurant. There is no limit to numbers at the pub but we are limited to 30 people at the Curry house.

Look forward to seeing you all there!

Cheers

Hot off the press!

So hold the dates, Friday May 17th & Sunday May 19th, remember you don’t have to ride to enjoy this, the Friday ‘Dapper Do’ is a party in a brewery after all! and all help gratefully accepted for the Sunday.
