NORTH Sub-Branch NEWSLETTER NOVEMBER 2018

The October Social was to three pubs in the Maynard’s Green area. The Brewers Arms at was extremely busy as it was their quiz night and The Runt in Tun was also busy as there was a Ladies Darts match in progress. Once again it was good that a number of South East Sussex main branch members were able to come along. It is appreciated that the sub-branch covers a very rural area and that public transport is limited especially during the evenings but it would be great to meet a few more members at our socials on the 3rd Wednesday of each month. Please don't feel you have to come to all 3 pubs.

Wed 21st Nov - New Inn, , Blackboys Inn, Blackboys and Hare & Hounds, Framfield.
